How do I can control 2 machenes by 1 linuxcnc CPU.

Hello everybody.

I want to independently control multiple machines in one of LinuxCNC machine respectively.
For example, x, y, z-axis, within the machine A, u, v, w axis, the inside of the machine B.
It is possible to prepare a plurality of terminals.
If there is other way, but still good.
Is it, it can be?
If possible, please introduce a reference manual or url.

Thank you.

I think we all need a little clarification on what you are trying to do.

Are you trying to:

1. Control two separate machines with two separate interfaces running two separate g-code files at the same time?

2. Control two separate machines with two separate interfaces, but the machines will never be running at the same time? (Close first interface and open another to run second machine.)

3. Control two separate machines as one machine with one interface running a single g-code file to operate both machines at the same time?

This will help us answer correctly.

I would like to thank your exact question.

The answer is No1.
>1. Control two separate machines with two separate interfaces running two separate g-code files at the same time?

I respectively, to be controlled by a separate timing.
It is, for example, by a separate g-code or ngc files called from a separate thread of Python.

I don't believe that No1. is possible with a normal LinuxCNC install. I can only have one instance of LinuxCNC running on my computer at once.

Someone else can chime in and confirm or deny this.

Thank you for your reply.

To many of you, I want to question the possibility.

To many of everyone.

Achievement method can be any such means if 1CPU.
For example, two of linuxcnc instance is able to start, if for each can move independently, does not matter it.

Whether, please bestowed a good idea.

I think the best way to control two machines running separate code from a single console at this point would be to have a seperate pc for each machine then either control one remotely from the other or both remotely from a third.

Thank you for your reply.

Explanation might be missing I write briefly.

Hardware that is allowed only one BeagleBone Black CPU board and the necessary driver.
Console is a virtual console of X11Dummy.
(Currently, this in only one instance has been controlled from Python)

Continue, I will look forward to a good idea.

>LinuxCNC does not run on the BeagleBone.

LinuxCNC Install MachineKit the current BeagleBone is running.
