Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC and DROs

I've attempted to use EMC as a DRO -As it stands, it won't work very well. It
is quite easy to write a small tcl app that uses some of the core IO
interface routines to read rhe encoder counters and display the result. But
it does seem to be a wast to go to the effort of installing linux and EMC
just for a DRO.
