Before I started this project I tried loading config for the Xylotex on the 8.7 image and it wouldn’t load and run either (just errored out immediately). So I figured if I have to debug the configuration either way I may as well try it on Stretch.
I am actually looking for something with a “.hal” configuration. I don’t speak python and really don’t want to learn it. I have written software for years in C, C++, and Objective-C. I really don’t want to spend time learning yet another language. HAL works just fine for me and as far as I am concerned people who are writing configurations in python are just reinventing the wheel. Doesn’t anybody have a configuration with a “.ini” file and a “.hal” file that load and runs on Stretch and rt_preempt? If not how about something with a “.ini” file and a “.hal” file that loads and runs on Jessie. > On Aug 31, 2018, at 9:09 AM, Robert Nelson <robertcnel...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > On Fri, Aug 31, 2018 at 10:55 AM schoone...@gmail.com > <mailto:schoone...@gmail.com> <schoone...@gmail.com > <mailto:schoone...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > On 31/08/18 16:19, Condit Alan wrote: >> Schooner, >> >> So I am trying to build a Machinekit system on Stretch.
