There is another project EMCApplication (another fork of LinuxCNC) that provides a G code interpreter, trajectory planner, etc. that would be useful for controlling a CNC machine. EMCApplication uses the HAL environment provided by MachineKit-HAL. If you are only interested in the real-time HAL environment without all the CNC control features from EMCApplication, you can use MachineKit-HAL on its own.

I'm confused because I thought that Machinekit was forked from LinuxCNC, which at one time was EMC. If anyone else could explain this I would appreciate it....Thanks...Alan -- 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.
