That seems to be the direction that Machinekit is moving in as the BBB is a bit weak in the graphics department. When I last looked (quite a while ago) they were working on making it easy to run the GUI and realtime on separate hardware. A lot of 3D printers do the motion-control on an Arduino, so SandyBox (and Machinekit + BBB) can be seen as an Arduino-upgrade rather than Full-size Linux PC alternative. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
