Motion Control in the kernel

Any thoughts ?

Sounds like its for more industrial applications on conveyor belts etc where there is a defined motion profile including waypoints. eg place a cherry on top of a cupcake on a conveyor after it comes out of the oven

Isn't that what child labour was for ?


yeah I know how bad of a joke that is.

Couldn't help myself and posted at Phoronix...

Could not find it there, or using different nic?

I think it needs to be approved but there is a link that takes you through to the comments on their forum.
 

It's on page 2.

Just reread the comments of the "experts".....hmmmm interesting

What? No swearing and cursing?
Very well worded, thank you Rod.
Makes me wonder, how come none of those there know about LinuxCNC???
We need some marketing, any ideas?

They're experts, our superiors, we're just the mugs at the coal face.

I think it's like the guy who only has a hammer in his tool box, everything can be solved by a hammer.

Tho I think the kernel has bigger issues at hand, the whole Rust thing & Linus thinking about stepping down or taking a back seat at the least.

And honestly what machine operator\owner wants rust around their machine ?
