I looked into machinekit because I wanted to use a BeagelBone. I found the user-level documentation to be disappointing. Things that are the same in machinekit and LinuxCNC inherited the good LinuxCNC documentation. I can't say enough good things about what John Thornton (and others) have done for our documentation. Unfortunately things that are new in machinekit (and thus the reason I wanted to use it) are barely documented at all. Recently Jeff Epler and others have figured out how to build LinuxCNC for beaglebone, so I came back to my roots and am happy. -- John Kasunich [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
