Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Current playing field

Just to stir things up a little more :) I'm looking to replace some PLC
controllers on automated machines, which just need a sequence of actions
via pneumatic valves, sensors and motors. The sort of thing that I've
hacked via gcode on Mach3 but now needs a better approach which LinuxCNC
may be a no-brainer? It's the graphics display which is putting me off
at the moment but that may just be lack of investigation.

Hi Lester

Have a look at Roborealm.com as a machine controller. While it's a highly capable vision system, it lends itself well to machine control, you being able to run scripts, as well as put and manipulate all manner of things on the screen for a GUI.

I/O can be handled via ethernet, serial or USB.

Regards

Roland
