It could probably be done, but I think there are probably more appropriate platforms. I know that someone uses Ford EEC-IV modules as a data logger platform, and from what I saw of it the compiler was moderately conventional. Using one for its intended use would probably be easier. I think the problem with using LinuxCNC would be that there are only three fixed-period threads available, whereas vehicle ECUs tend to trigger various tasks at certain points in the crank revolution. (though there are 10mS and 100mS threads too for the less time-critical processes like sensor linearisation.) It might be easier still to just buy an open module from Emerald or similar. http://www.emeraldm3d.com/ -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
