It is easy enough to send an "MDI" command to LinuxCNC that will move the end-point to a specified set of XYZ (BC) coordinates. But that will be a straight-line move from the current position. Anything more complex requires a planner, but initially you can ignore that layer. An MDI command such as "F100 G1 X10 Y20 Z30" can be sent to LinuxCNC in a number of ways, including: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/man/man1/linuxcncrsh.1.html or http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/config/python-interface.html -- 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, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
