I agree that there is something to be said for such an arrangement, but I am not sure that LinuxCNC is a good starting point. The point of LinuxCNC is to integrate a full CNC system on off-the-shelf consumer hardware. It was developed as an _alternative_ to systems like you describe. For separated realtime and GUI it might well be that things like GRBL (and similar 3D-printer systems) or Mach4 + Smoothstepper are a more logical starting point. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
