The interface to the pic servo and to Simple Step is very similar. I
would expect that the CPNC program could easily support both controllers
(if I ever get back to work on it). The more I learn about EMC the more
I am convinced that an intelligent controller like pic-servo or simple
step is the way to go. It is widely agreeded that Windows is a bad
choice for real time work, and I think Linux is only slightly better.
The world has really gone to distributed microprocessors, why shouldnt
CNC be the same?
