Ok - can anyone remind me *why* the Printrboard is not a good thing to interface with LinuxCNC?
Background - I have a Printrbot Simple kit that I'm taking away on an Internet-free weekend, to install. So, I have been installing the software for slicing and dicing, and for controlling this board. I'd like to run this from LinuxCNC, but, google has not been my friend tonight, other than to find "hal2arduino" which is commented as being "very slow for driving steppers". Why is that? 25,000 baud to this board, and it runs (from youtube) just fine with the Printrbot Simple. What am I missing?? (Look, it's inexpensive hardware, and, if we can connect LinuxCNC up with just a USB cable, why not?) Comments, web links, slap across the back of the head, etc, more than welcome.
