I have been using linuxcnc-dev 2.8 on a pc for some time with uspace and rt-preempt and it is working fine. Im looking into changing this configuration, in particular I’m looking into using zeromq for linking into the system with some custom gui's developed with Labview.
To see if I could use machinekit with all of its modern communications abilities I cleaned out my mill control computer, installed a fresh copy of Debian 8.7.1 and machinekit as a standalone dev configuration. The Bridgeport clone milling machine I’m using for development work uses a Mesa 7i80 card with a network address of 10.10.10.2. Under the original configuration using linuxcnc all works just fine, but with machinekit there appears to be no communications path to the Mesa 7i80 card. When my .hal file attempts to read line 35, ‘addf hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.read servo thread’ it errors out. I assume that this is likely caused by not being able to use the uspace option during the build process which makes me suspect that I’m missing a configuration step to get that process going. Anyone have any info on how this needs to be done? I'm also a little confused with difference between internet links to machinekit and machinekit.io. -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
