I don't think that LinuxCNC would be a good starting point for this. LinuxCNC is what it is. It is a machine controller that runs on a PC. Anything else is something else, and it probably doesn't make sense to try to make LinuxCNC in to that thing (whatever it is) If you want a single system that runs your CAD and a web browser and that also runs a CNC machine perfectly adequately then you have a choice of LinuxCNC or Mach3, and both perform that task perfectly adequately. If you want dedicated realtime hardware running the machines with an administrative interface on a separate machine (possibly controlling many realtime nodes) then LinuxCNC isn't really a sensible starting point for that. All in my opinion of course. -- 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, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
