How do I translate data to a spinning axis? was created by DocStein99
I've been using linuxcnc for years as a standard 3-axis x,y,z controller with good success. Recently I found a youtube video where someone claims to use linuxcnc to raster a laser image, spinning a laser on a stepper motor to burn image to a uv-emulsion pcb.
spinning laser axis
Obviously, this setup does not use standard g-code for positioning gantry x,y,z. I would like to build one of these for myself, I was wondering if anyone knew how it was done. I can write my own visual basic code to translate a bitmap image, and output data in anyway possible. But I don't know how I would start going about to to translate the data into something I would use Linuxcnc to drive the system. Please advise.

I have a feeling it is this chap here:
forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/285...esn-t-work-bug#53124
The name and the use of streamer make me think this is likely.
