Linuxcnc 2.7 released
|
After many new features, much testing, and many bug fixes, I'm pleased
to announce the release of LinuxCNC 2.7.0! This release is codenamed "I Kill Kokomo". The major new features since 2.6 are: * new trajectory planner (from Rob Ellenberg of Tormach) * support for RT-Preempt real-time (from Jeff Epler) * support for importing Mach3 configs via StepConf * better ARM support * better docs * many new drivers and features * bug fixes * probably other things that I've forgotten! Instructions on how to upgrade from 2.6 to 2.7.0 are here (note this may require manual changes to your config, detailed on this webpage): Instructions on how to make a fresh install of 2.7.0 are here: Many thanks to all the folks who worked hard to add features, fix bugs, write docs, run tests, and report how things were or weren't working. Here's to many more years of friendly, effective collaboration! |

开云体育Thanks for the update.I haven't looked it Linux CNC in a while. I have been using Mach 3 forever. Does Linux CNC still use a parallel port? It would be great if it could use an Arduino, like GRBL. On 9/15/2015 10:58 AM,

开云体育RonI only have a slight grasp on the handle,,,,:-) so I don't have your answer but maybe this will help.?? On the Wiki there is a version they call How to create a minimal Raspbian image with Xenomai and LinuxCNC installed for Raspberry Pi. Then go here; Regards Dan On 9/15/2015 2:10 PM, Ron Thompson

开云体育After I wrote that, I looked at the WIKI and it said it uses the parallel port and serial port. No USB.On 9/15/2015 6:41 PM, Dan Field

Mesa has a bunch of Ethernet solutions at the moment. ?(I don't know of others yet)
7i80DB (68i/o - 4 db25)), 7i80HD (72i/o - 3 50pin) ?(expandable with daughter cards - stepper BOB, Analog BOB and such) There are a few variations of the 7i92 but it is basically 2 printer ports worth of i/o. ?So you could use your existing bobs or again - mesa has daughter boards that give you a ton of expandability.
?? With the release of 2.7.0 the Ethernet 'drivers' for mesa are supplied. ? |
