Unfortunately the content that I know about is what existed at the time of the LinuxCNC/machinekit fork. And the vast majority of that was already well documented. The holes in the machinekit documentation are mostly things that the machinekit devs have added or changed, and I have no specific knowledge of their changes. (for example newthread) If anything, my knowledge of how LinuxCNC did things might make it harder for me to wrap my brain around how machinekit does them. For example, I still think of RT components as kernel modules. I know that is no longer the case with machinekit. However, as a USER, it shouldn't make a bit of difference. As long as "loadrt", "newthread" and "addf" work *as documented*, the implementation is irrelevant. Since I want to write documentation for users and from a user's viewpoint, such implementation details shouldn't matter. What matters is that the code does what the docs say it does, and vice versa. -- John Kasunich [email protected] -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
