The code resides here (the API is not much documented. https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/tree/master/src/machinetalk Here's a pretty long video https://youtu.be/ZehZ5bq4eu0 Alexander has a few blog posts: First in a series of 5: https://machinekoder.com/machinetalk-explained-part-1-introduction/ You also want to have a look at QtQuickVCP https://github.com/machinekit/QtQuickVcp Hope this gives you enough info for further questions!

[Machinekit] MachineKit HAL API
Reading over various posts I have come across mentions of an API centered around ZeroMQ and talk of using machinekit as a "headless" service without a gui. I cannot however find any documentation regarding either this or the api. I also notice that practically all of these posts are over two years old. Have these ideas been implemented or simply abandoned? Is there any central documentation, examples or even a tutorial for using these api's? I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right directon.

[Machinekit] Xylotex BBB-DB25/26 and Limit verses Home switches.
With respect to limit switches the README for the BBB-DB-25/26 states: *"This configuration drives a standard 4-axis system using the PRU forhigh speed step/dir pulse generation and a Xylotex BBB interface board. Theinterface board sets up the STEP/DIR/Limit as:XS-2, XD-3, XL-11, YS-4,YD-5, YL-12, ZS-6, ZD-7, ZL-13, AS-8, AD-9, AL-15The STOP Input is Pin 10 and the Enable Input is Pin 1"* *But the HAL file has the inputs configured as Home Switches. For example:* *#(JP) Add home switch input on DB25-11* * net home-x bb_gpio.p8.in-10 => axis.0.home-sw-in * I'd like to put all the axis limit switches in series and run them into DB25-15 since the rotary axis doesn't have a limit or home switch and then assign that to limit switches for al axis. I would provide a mechanical switch to override the limits so it's possible to move off a limit switch. Or maybe there's a configuration way to ignore the limit. Or is the general approach more like putting all the limit switches in series with the DB25-1 to DB25-10 connection in series with the ESTOP? Then the momentary button is pressed to override and a jog button used to move back off the activated limit switch? Am I missing something or is there some sort of net limit-x bb_gpio.p ... statement that can be used?
