Hi All. I have an idea but it may sound weird at the first place. Since I am not a tech guy I don't know if it's stupid or not, could you please criticize the idea.
I would like to use raspberry pi3 with machinekit. This is not the weird? idea. The idea; can pi be used as an FPGA? I want to use a laptop or PC as the main machine with machinekit and want to connect raspberry pi with ethernet or spi or something else. Raspberry pi will be machinekit installed as well without any gui. What I would like to do is: the main computer will send the commands to the pi as if it is a FPGA board (or not) then pi will get the command and execute it( generate steps follow the error messages from NML etc.) Then will send feedback to main machinekit computer. You could think that why pi is needed between computer and step drivers. I did some resourcing and find out with parallel port computers can generate 25 khz steps. With the GUI it's about the same for pi. But I read a discussion on linuxcnc forum that without GUI someone could achieve 500 khz step generating on Pi3. I know it's been very long to explain what I would like to do but please forgive me since I am not a native English speaker. Thank you all in advance if you read this till here. Have a good day/night.
