Fabian,
Am I right in saying then that this is going to be done in quite a few
undergraduate semester projects and a few post graduate studies?
By the way I am overwelmed by the size of the total effort, probably
because I lived too long in the 3rd world.
The question about testing contained some enlightened self interest.:
For a real CNC today you will use SERCOSIII or equivalent drives. So I was
wondering what your plans are about the hardware, since
EMC2 / LCNC has a bit of a deficiency at the moment in that field. I would
like to know wether you will build a real hardware setup
and then how you are going to handle this deficiency. I think support could
be drummed up in the community to do some work on that
but we do not have uncles that present us with motors and drives. I think
basically that is where the support will stop, so we would have to look to
you for that.
And the last question: Would your total effort be donated back into the
community or will there be sections that will stay proprietary.
This is now on the machine controller side. I understand that STEP
generation will slowly percolate back into the CAD market.
cheers,
j.
