Neighbors, I’ve just started work at a CNC manufacturer, and they’ve dropped me right into testing & developing new control algorithms for their devices. Trouble is, the development environment they’ve given me is a clunky version of Knoppix installed to hard drive, with the RTAI & Comedi patches & modules installed. No man pages, no choice of editors (I’m not overly fond of KDE’s Kate), and no decent way of installing new software.
I found the LinuxCNC project online when I was looking for instructions on adding RTAI & Comedi to Linux distributions I’m familiar with. (Short answer: I don’t have the luxury of suspending work while I figure out kernel patching & compiling.) I’ve read through some of the documentation and I’m running a download, but I have not yet learned this: Does the EMC2 distribution have what I’m looking for? I.e., can I load an RTAI module I’ve built, and have it talk to the locally-developed Comedi driver, more or less “right out of the box”? (It’s OK if I need to recompile the local software; that’s part of my job after all!)
