My Rasperberry pi is acting as a database server and works well. I still marvel at my Southwestern Industries CNC machine that runs on a 8085 (5Mhz) that controls a 3 axis mill at 2m/min with 2000 line encoders and servo drives. All programming is conversational and tool compensation is done by the 8085. I can create subroutines, 8 sided polys, etc and string up to 99 operations into one program. It hs work flawlessly for the 15 years I have owned it and works almost every day.
I wonder if making PCs work as controllers is the right way to go. The ATMEGA could easily do the job, just my c is not up to it. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
