I'm pleased to announce a new fork of LinuxCNC, in the spirit of Machinekit :

OpenCN is an open source numerical control (CNC) for high end machining applications (high dynamics, high precision).
OpenCN is originally based on LinuxCNC, but with strong enhancements :

-) completely reworked trajectory planning (TP) including jerk control based on embedded optimization
-) Xenomai asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) for hard real time, low latency
-) up to date Linux kernel
-) EtherCat with 10 kHz frame rate and distributed clock (DC), mode B
-) Qt based GUI

The HW platforms are x86 (available) and ARM (in preparation).


best regards,

Raoul

Hello,
nice, at first glance the code looks lot simpler and cleaner. Are you that guy who was talking at a Xenomai list about inter-processor communication and complete separation of cores?

Raoul,

Very interesting, we have been using machinekit to develop our 4 axis CNC router for Bamboo Design & Fabrication Research. (BCNC).  I was wondering how many axis and inputs are supported by bu OpnCN? Also can in run on a Beaglebone Black, AI or similar or does it need a larger/ more powerful computer?

best regards,
