If you need to reduce the number of pins the LCD consumes, you can interface
to a serial LCD like the one from sparkfun. This will offload all the LCD
timing routines off the Arduino but will require the Software UART module
and only needs 1 pin. You can also use a 2wire interface by using a shift
I mount PCB's (Like MESA card) onto a piece of Perspex. Scerw that to a
dummy terminal block so it mounts onto the DIN rail.

I am currently adding a RepRap head to my EMC2 controlled desktop mill.
Using serial link to control head temperature but feed rate will be
controlled via EMC2.

My solution to this problem is to use an external micro to do the
temperature monitoring and talk back to HAL via rs-232. This is all based
upon http://axis.unpy.net/01198594294
I am actually using an MSP430 rather than a Adruino board, but the principle
is the same. No reason why you could not
I am adding a plastic extruder to me EMC2 controlled desktop mill (with MESA
7i43 card) and am looking for the best way to control the stepper motor for
the filament feed.
The existing examples (Sam Wong) uses the controller board from the RepRap
project (version 1) so is not suitable for my
I also have an external PID temperature controller, use it on a modified
laminator to make PCB's (Prees'N'Peel).
The problem is you can not set the temperature via external means. It does
have an alarm out that could be used to tell EMC2 that the temp is out of
range but that is inadequate for

Stay on top of everything new and
The HOSTMOT2 firmware package does not seem available. It does for Hardy on my
test system.
For some reason CVS is timing out on me also, so I am trying to get the firware
from the debian packages.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

I was hoping one of the guys who do AXIS stuff would pick this up. If you knew
the source, I doubt it would take too long. If I get free time in the next
couple of weeks, I might have a go. I downloaded the stuff out of CVS and
actually found the relevant files. I am a C/PERL programmer so
I have several python scripts to generate G-Code that I use frequently.
It would be nice if we could have a widget that would do the equivalent of
opening a script.
The easiest would be similar to the button except instead of connecting to a
halpin, it would open a predefined script.
