Ted Hyde is successfully using the 7i43 on a 3-axis servo machine. I think his machine is much smaller than yours ;-) Here's Ted's description of his setup, including links to his emc2 ini files: <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.emc.user/10427> With the imminent release of 2.2.7, hostmot2 and the 7i43 should be usable by folks who dont want to compile our CVS Trunk from source. :-) -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
