Strong only until you hit up against the limited number of I/O pins. A PRU based solution is cheap and simple but can't scale. In general TI's idea to place a small microcontroller on the same chip as their ARM Cortex-A was good and we see others doing this too but a big machine tool like a 5-axis mill with tool changer and cooling and saftey interconnects is going to need something bigger than a PRU. FPGAs work well as wold an STM32 tht had on order about 100 pins. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California -- 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.
