have started the retro rebuild process.
Warning: the pictures my be disturbing to some machine lovers because of
all the missing parts...:)

Does anyone know if HAL can read keys from a Keyboard like inputs?
If so, can you show an example line in HAL.

Would it be possible to run a VPN on the GP2X and then have it control

Thanks for looking into this. It sounds like I am best off learning

something for the future? I wish I had the knowledge to do it...

Anders,
I was hoping I could do that. Do you have a link to a diagram that
shows a match8. I understand that it is a 8 bit binary match detector
but I am not sure how one of those work?
Thanks,

Thanks... wow I some how missed that entire area of documentation. It
looks like most of the things I am looking for are in that area.

Here is the link to the wiki page that shows this.

Look under item 3.1 about in the middle between 3.1. and 3.2.
Hope this helps.

What about a photo type switch w/ analog feedback? Some of them have set
points on them that trigger a output when they are in a range. This way
it would be non contact and could be safely place at some distance from
the cutter?? Just a thought... Keyence has a few types of switches like
this. Here
One thing I have noticed about AXIS is that the shortcuts are case
sensitive. Not a big deal once you realize it.

I have had no luck getting a C executable to run from a M101 - M199 command
