Interpcnc 2.1 with Linuxcnc

Hello everybody,

I want to built my cnc but i already bought my equipment (driver motor, stepmotor and board controller).
and this is my question :

Do you know if Linuxcnc is compatibilty with Interpcnc 2.1 ?

and if it easy to instal linuxcnc in interpcnc ? If i must to instal a other software for to use linuxcnc for the first time or not , i don't know

Because my aim, it's to buid 5axis cnc XYZBC, but it's easy or i must to get in HAL file for to modificate my config

Thank

A quick look at the web page for that product makes it look like it would not be possible to use it with Linuxcnc. It looks like it is a USB/RS-485 motion controller very similar to a Smoothstepper. Products like these can not give the real time control that Linuxcnc needs.

As Todd says it is USB or Serial connected and already has its own interpreter
( written in 'powerful BASIC language' - an oxymoron if ever there was one ).

As such it is not suitable. If you have already bought it, then use Mach

Ok thank you for answer , i was thinking that Mach3 or linuxcnc, it's same software just a price for to do a difference. I'm not a software technician but i don't understand, what's the difference between mach3 / Galaad and Linuxcnc? nobody ever to program linuxcnc for this card

Thank you

You were wrong, aside from the fact they do the same sort of thing there is no connection and few similarities.

No, because it is incompatible at a very basic level.

Google or search this forum for the differences between and why USB does not work properly either.

regards

Ok i understand now

thank you for all explications
