I've been running Machinekit on a BBB for approximately a year now. I could still benefit from a little more tuning, but over all it runs well. Most of the program I have run have been rather simplistic either hand coded or done with Inkscape. The have been a couple of hundred lines maximum. Yesterday I tried to run "real" code generated by Fusion 360 with the EMC post proccessor. Despite being relatively simple machining operation Fusion managed to generate 23k lines of code. Everything loads up fine, the visualization comes up, however the actual machine blogs down to the point it is not functional. It takes several minutes to zero each axis and the code will not run. There are no errors it just will not run. I'm assuming it is to much for the limited processing power of the BBB.
Anyone have a good rule of thumb about a good safe number of lines for BBB? -- 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.
