Yes, but since it's an FPGA it can be pretty much whatever you want in terms of how many stepgens, encoders, etc. There are some existing configs which may or may not work for you, see the PIN_* files: https://github.com/machinekit/mksocfpga/tree/master/HW/hm2/config/DE0_Nano_SoC_DB25 ...depending on what you need for I/O pins. I notice there is a conspicuous lack of a configuration for something like a G540 (or even stepgen + GPIO on the same DE0-Nano pin-header). I can make one if you'd like. > Say I get machinekit on the de0-nano running and correctly cabled, do I > just install machinekit on an x86_64 pc, load my drawing and send it to the > de0-nano over IP, are there instructions for all of this? You only need Machinekit installed on the DE0-Nano. For an interface, you either need to use X11 forwarding and bring up the display on a different machine (the Axis GUI or one of the other traditional LinuxCNC GUIs), or you can use one of Alexander's Qt interfaces (Cetus or Machineface) which are designed to run on a tablet or remote computer. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -- 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.
