Looks like a hal or user space mtconnect needs writing then it should just work TM when an integrator adds it to his machine (lathe/mill) along with a network interface. As for the ROS to linuxcnc interface I leave that as an exercise. Dave Caroline On 21/06/2014, Jack Coats j...@coats.org

Thanks for all the replies. It sounds like that this can be done by folks that know more than I do. I am guessing, we may need an 'appropriate' interface (possibly something like lynx with some glue code) to read web posting from other machines and be able to read those settings with an interface

Most Injection moulding machines use a 'Euromap interface for robots. Been around for a while, but obviously European. I don't know what lathes or milling machines have. My feeling is that any machine only needs a few parallel lines to signify status. The interaction is usually at a very simple

Perhaps the best example of this was when the early drivers for scanning devices was being developed. The development group even requested naming permissions from the Samuel Clemens estate trust, which were in fact granted. The end result was; Toolkit Without An Interesting Name aka the
