Has any one thought of using a low end laptop like this for running
linuxcnc with a Mesa Ethernet Anything IO card for the Hardware interface.
Cheapest way I can think of to get a touch screen $250 aprox and you get
a PC as well.
I set one up one for a friend running linux Mint17 apart from the
stupid secure boot stuff not letting me boot from any thing but the
windows drive it was easy once we got the bios settings figured to turn
that off and detect and enable boot from other devices. I was thinking
to set the RJ45 Ethernet plug dedicated to the IO card and use the
integrated wifi for internet. Not Sure what we would get for jitter or
if there are any other pitfalls to watch for. I will be in England in
about a month and have access to one for testing. If any one is
interested. Thoughts? Comments? Sugestions?
