I am VERY pleased, I ran it long enough to virtually carve half a dozen lathe_pawns, and had apt update it while LCNC was running, and when I did finally quit LCNC, it said there were NO latency overruns >10x the servo thread thats running everything, all logged to the console.
The way htop reports cpu loading, it could go as high as 400% since its a 4 core cpu. I have a boardload of hal stuff to slice & dice yet, but while it was running the spindle for real. the worst case loading was 144%. I have serious doubts my hal additions will get that to 200%. So I seriously think we have a winner in the raspi-3b. Now all I have to do is get well, I just started on some ciproflaxen for a kidney infection 20 minutes ago. So its been around 3 days since my giddy-up got up and left w/o me. ===================== That crimping tool I one-clicked Sunday evening after Andy found the link, thanks Andy, just walked up and parked itself on a table beside the front door Very well built for a $23 tool, it WILL do the job I'm sure. Now if Digi-Key could deliver that fast... And I catch my giddy-up so I can get the conduit ran & stuffed with a roll of 10-3/wg to get real 250 volt power to it, which means I climb up and stick a 3/4" pad under the left cable pulley mount to get room under the cable for the conduit w/o the cable rubbing on the conduit, we'll be a week closer to first swarf.
