I just built a very cool sand table which uses a an x/y machine (no z axis) to control a magnet on a gantry underneath a pan of sand. On top of the sand is a ball bearing which drags along the sand to create patterns. I'm using emc2 and axis to drive the setup which works very well. My intent is to place mechanism and the computer in a coffee table and drive the setup remotely through a web interface. I would still love to use all of the motion control and g-code handling features of emc2 but I need to automate operations so scripts on the web server can generate g-code and automatically have emc2 run it.
Is it possible to automate the running of emc2 and how would I go about doing it? Here are some photos of the setup: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?id=576592429&aid=62294. More recent ones will be added shortly. Here is a video of the table drawing its first pattern: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=56246472429 Thanks - Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
