You could easily use the Machinekit HAL framework and the hostmot2 VHDL to control whatever mix of hardware you need. Assuming you don't want to use the existing CNC stack, you should be able to fairly easily connect your high-level planning software up to HAL using the C or Python bindings. Note that the ring-buffers available in Machinekit make interfacing to non-real-time user-mode code a *LOT* easier than it used to be in LinuxCNC. Depending on exactly what you need to do, you may not even need anything outside of HAL and a few limit2/limit3 blocks. I'm controlling a couple custom (not CNC, not 3D printer) machines using just Machinekit HAL and a couple small HAL components I wrote for specific tasks. -- Charles Steinkuehler [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.
