thanks Paul and others.
At this stage I can barely spell Linux, let alone Debian:)
I was hoping for an easier route to getting EMC running than a full blown
Linux version. At the moment I'm still working with the dos cam packages.
ramble ramble....
At an industrial show the other day I came across Hust (chinese) machine
controllers. Shoe-box size, it's got all the bits, LCD, keypad, and ALL the
I/O required at the back to implement a 3-axis servo(closed loop) system,
starting at about $350.
I'm sure it's possible, but I was hoping that EMC would take the route of
separating the machine control from that cad side. This way you can have a
controller inside the machine, on a PC104 type card, and dribble it G-code.
I still an aversion to requiring a 2GHz machine to drive steppers.
I'll probably be told that HAL can do do all that, but it's still not an
'install and run', as cncpro is, for example. (on a 400MHz machine)
end of ramble ramble....
