#linuxcnc — Public Fediverse posts

I'm wondering whether it's possible to have a device running #linuxcnc which can take an extra input which is continuously added to say the X axis to cause a variable offset in the X position?

Imagine a device which repeatedly traces a pattern on a moving conveyor belt. This is the sort of thing usually done with a PLC but there seems no reason why LinuxCNC couldn't do it.

I wonder though whether #grbl might be a better option?

Anyone understand what I'm trying to ask and have any ideas?

With the new #PREEMPT_RT #linux kernel hitting mainline I wrote an article on the importance of kernel parameter tuning to reduce latency and jitter for #LinuxCNC
