There are existing controllers that run everything in a microprocessor (GRBL for example) If you just want a graphical front-end to feed G-code to a uP that does all the motion planning then I don't think that LinuxCNC is a good starting place. Better to start with GRBL and write a thin layer GUI on top of that to open files and display positions. -- 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 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
