G-code it just one way to get motion commands to the hardware. As you are not interested in feed rates, just rapid point-to-point moves you could probably set up a very simple Python program with HAL pins that simply sends end-positions to the HAL pins (to be connected to stepgens or PID components for servos) then waits for the machine to arrive there. The HAL "limit3" function is a perfectly adequate motion controller for may purposes. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
