I hope, MAYBE, that there will be a first cut at an RTAI-patched kernel for the Beagle Board by then. If no, I will have a Beagle Board to parallel port converter board that could run a step/direction drive or communicate with my PPMC interface boards.

[Emc-users] Update on EMC at NAMES 2010
A brief update. * Seminars Matt Shaver and I will be doing two seminars about EMC, one per day, at the NAMES Expo. April 24-25. http://www.modelengineeringsoc.com/expo.htm Getting Started with EMC: free and open source CNC control software. Beginning with a brief overview of the components of a typical hobbyist/small business CNC machine, the seminar will focus on using the free and open source EMC software for CNC control. Topics will include where to get EMC, computer requirements, EMC capabilities, using EMC standalone for learning G-code, configuration, and operation. (This is obviously just going to be an overview!) Saturday's is at noon in room A, and Sunday's is at 10 AM in room B. I think Matt is doing Saturday, and I'm doing Sunday. * LiveCDs Marty Swartz is again duplicating EMC LiveCD's; we'll have 200 to hand out for free (probably half at the seminars and half at the table). We'll also have a handout about EMC like last year. * The Booth This year the NAMES folks decided we could be an exhibitor. (Last year we were a vender.) The good news is that this is free; the bad news is that, from what I now understand, we will have very limited space and be in an arbitrary location (first come, first serve). I unfortunately did not realize this when the option was presented. It sounds like no space for our EMC banner (sorry, Chips), and very little room for anything but a demo mill and example controller box and PC. Going back to being a vender may be a good route for the future--this kind of presence doesn't seem to fit into a good category at NAMES. In the end, though, I think we'll be able to talk to a bunch of folks and introduce them to EMC, which is the point. I'm looking for volunteers to be at the table for brief shifts Saturday and Sunday--especially during the seminars, if possible. Please email me if you can do that. Thanks. --Dale -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself. Speed compiling, find bugs proactively, and fine-tune applications for parallel performance.

Re: [Emc-users] Update on EMC at NAMES 2010
Dale, There is a reason that you were offered exhibitor space this year. The NAMES show is being held in HALF of the Southgate Civic Center this year. Last time NAMES was held there, they had the whole building and still ran out of space. This year they are unable to accommodate all the vendors who wanted space, so allowing you to be an exhibitor instead makes room for one more vendor. Be prepared for self service if you need power. The exhibit floor has only a few outlets at the perimeter and none overhead like Cabin Fever. The place was basically designed as a sports arena. I would recommend coming prepared with something to plug into the outlet and create more outlets to share with others, a long extension cord, duct tape, and if you have any, one of those flat rubber bumpers designed to run a cord across an open floor where people walk. Oh, and a UPS for the computer might be wise.
