Re: [Emc-users] Machinekit? --> LinuxCNC computer

I don't know why you'd want to use that when the 7i92 is available. You're using a parallel port or serial, which has significant bandwidth and latency issues compared to ethernet. 7i92's only $30 more so I doubt cost is a big factor here. But, pretty sure it'll work with LinuxCNC. For 7i92,

Does the 7I90HD work with Linux CNC? It looks like it could work It looks like it would be the board to use with an ARM Pi3. It connects with the host using SPI which is easy to use in the Pi3 7I90HD is the lowest cost Mega FPGA board at only $59 so you could have the computer and Mesa card both

They do sell the Rasberry Pi with a small touch screen. But the cost is higher. The way to do a graphical interface now on a new project is to assume the user already owns a phone of tablet and access that phone of tablet over WiFi As an example look how you'd set up a new IP security camera.

I use the Mesa 7i92. It is EXCELLENT. I prefer it over PCI solutions just because I can keep the controller separate from the PC without a lot of wiring. It works fine with my 1ms servo-thread. I have no reason to see if it goes further. It offloads all the pulse generation for the steppers

Gene, IO is via FPGA over Ethernet since it has an integrated Ethernet controller in the ARM SOC vs being Ethernet over USB like the Rpi and many other ARM boards. Look at the Mesa 7i92. HD can be over USB. On 10/22/2016 03:30 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > On Saturday 22 October 2016 14:44:47 bari
