But will they sell one without PC & software?
I haven't checked Ray Henry's reply to Kirk, about Smithy, either

Kirk,
Also depending on possible risk hardware/ software implementations are required
to be control reliable. Technically emc or mach or other controllers would fail
that requirement unless certified by a testing lab like tuv

Seb,
I plan on working on this tonight. After reviewing this all day today. I do not
see this a huge bridge to cross. Most of your shuttle comp can be used to test
and add some provisions to write hard coded command packets.
Basically block read the inputs and then assign to comp pins.
That's

The KX-1 and KX-3 are Sieg's benchtop purpose-built CNC machines. Despite
the names I don't think they share much iron with the X1 or X3, just roughly
similar dimensions. They're carried by a variety of sellers but
LittleMachineShop.com in the US is the first that comes to mind.

There is other hardware options that do not require a parallel port. Mesa pci
cards are a good example of that.
When running emc you are running a real time controller. You just also decide
to use it as a pc as well.
If siemens let you surf the net and run apps on a 840D what would the

$5k sounds like a good guess. At that point I'd start looking at a KX3 instead,
and get a machine with the hard work done.
I upgraded from an X1 micro mill to an X2. It was the biggest thing I could
squeeze in and significantly smaller than the G0704. It was a meaningful
upgrade for me and too

Safety should always be a hardware solution. Safety software applications
should be tested and certified to international standards.
Signals back to a controller are just a formality imho
In the case of emc. The pc is the controller and not hacked up at all.
However if it was a windows os
Frank,
Could I just use hidraw to write and read packets from the pokeys?
My thought is that I could write a hal comp to write a command packet to the
pokeys. The pokeys would process the packet and send the resulting response
back. From there i/o data can be mapped to hal pins and all should

Thanks for the reply. I have the machine open so can take a few pics.
May take a few days but I'll get them to you.
