RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC and DROs

Try running deskncrt. From my tests it looked like it read the positions
of the encoders without running the motors.

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.
