I don't think it is 100% simple with LinuxCNC as there isn't a hal driver for the Pi GPIO. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/master/src/hal/drivers Machinekit has one (hal_gpio) https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/tree/master/src/hal/drivers But it hasn't been ported across to LinuxCNC. I don't know how much work it would be to do so. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
