I agree to Kirk. Also consider BeagleBone and Machinekit. BBB has several ADC channels already. I think it should be easy to use its SPI in user space too. There are some items from my collection to watch: http://r.ebay.com/TFtcVt And some thoughts, found on web-search about serial interfaces and

Assuming that this is a one-off and you just want it to work so you can make some money off it. I would consider using some standard off the shelf industrial hardware - the advantage is that you you don't have to mess with unknown quality hardware. I'd look for a low cost PLC that has a decen

Dear all, I need to know to what extend Linux CNC could be used to manage an infrared SMT reflow oven. Any ideas are welcome. I just purchased an old professional oven, a small one, around 2.5 meters long (some ovens can be 5 meters long or more). It has 7 heating zone up and 7 heating zones down
