Hi again, So, I have played with the xemc.cc code to uncover some C++ interfaces and I have also played with using linuxcncrsh to control remotely, which is obviously simpler.
In my situation, I also need to monitor an analog input which will return a voltage. I have an example of doing something similar in Axis, with signals defined in the HAL file and the appropriate overlay file definition. Is there a way of accessing this same type of data through linuxcncrsh, or will I need to code this specific access myself? thanks again, Walter On Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 5:45 PM, Frank Tkalcevic < fr...@franksworkshop.com.au> wrote: > As has been mentioned before, using linuxcncrsh may do all that you need. > It can open files, start/stop runs, return status etc. > > It is a simple telnet interface, so you just need a socket connection and > then send text commands down the line.
