[Emc-users] Remote GUI NML/0MQ

It might be better to reformulate my question. Then trying to run linuxcnc with commands from GUI sent over the network I have figured howto run the server but not client. EMCTASK, EMCIO and EMCMOT is run on server but not axis so I expected axis should be run on client. Then I run axis alone

Hi guys, I'm running Cygwin on my Win-PC as an X server for all Unix-applications at work (don't need to be in the server hall), working like a charm. The load on the network and the remote machine is not a big worry. You don't have to tunnel it through ssh though as it's your own network (unless

Thanks. Those files cleared up some questions. In looking at server.nml, I noticed that the xemc processes are routed to the remote, but the old documentation indicates that these lines don't really do anything. Why not just remove those altogether? wll.. it is actually used. at some

Does the remote need a complete EMC install? I copied just the bin, opps, I guess its a python file, axis to my Fedora PC and it complained about not finding a Tkinter module. I can setup another EMC machine but I thought it might be easy to only set up AXIS on an existing PC. On Fri, 2007-12-07

I don't know. I think that the protocol used across the network is fairly lightweight. I would think that you would have to re-do the realtime latency test while using the remote desktop to find out for sure. Andy Kirk Wallace wrote: This is what came to mind first, but I wonder if some

Wouldn't it be easier to use remote desktop type functionality? For example VNC? If the PC that connects to the CNC machine is headless I think there is vnc4server, which only runs a desktop when you connect via VNC. Not 100% sure and I haven't tried it. Andy Kirk Wallace wrote: I would like
