My first experience with Machinekit: the retrofit of an old Intelys C3000 machining center! Three months of work with many new things to learn:
- Beaglebone Black configuration and interfacing
- PRU integration
- Machinekit compilation and configuration
- QML programming to modify Machineface
- Setup of a X86 VM to execute my machine configuration in simulation mode
- PCB routing with Target3001! EDA
- How to engrave a PCB with a CNC router
- …
- and lot of fun
Many thanks to the Machinekit and LinuxCNC community for helping me on some tricky configuration issues.
