Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, I didn't find a nice way to search the archives.
We have a cnc router (probotix) that we are using to automate electronic parts testing (replacing the router with a vacuum picker assembly.) We will have code on a different computer that runs the tests. A piece of that code will get requests as to which part to get and where to put it. The result of that is to generate gcode that we then want to execute on the linuxcnc machine and get success or error for each command. To start with, we will want to send single gcode commands and wait for the machine to complete them before going on. There are other actions that need to interspersed with the cnc motion, so just sending a program isn't what we need right now. Has anyone written something that can do this? We're fairly flexible on how this works. If the best way is to ssh into the linuxcnc machine and run some command that takes input from standard in, that would be great. A separate tcp/ip listener would be fine as well. If this hasn't been done, would it make sense to do this as a python script with the linuxcnc python interface? thanks, jerry -- Jerry Scharf FINsix IT 650.285.6361 w 650.279.7017 m ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
