What that would be is a client-server type of system, with LCNC running on a micro-system in the role of the server, with the GUI running on the Windows or OS X or other system as the client. The trick is to achieve transparency of operation so that GCODE and commands for start, stop, E-stop etc sent to the LCNC server and feedback returned to the client operates seamlessly and without interference with the micro-system actually operating the CNC machine. It would (should) also be simpler to adapt the client to different versions of its host OS since the data going both ways from the server wouldn't change. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
