Thank you for your response. I have a 4 wheel robot with stepper motor that
I am working on. I just want to have one controller board and able to control those stepper motor from a remote host (like a RaspberryPI host). The communication from the RaspberryPI host NEED to be interactively and responsive (not a batch job). Can I use TinyG for this requirement?
This TinyG seem to do the trick for my POC project as far as the spec goes.
However, I am not uncertain about the technology. I don’t mind to learn the GCODE way but uneducated whether it is fast, reliable and doable for my use case.
I want to able to invoke or send a set of commands directly from a Unix host
such as a RaspberryPI to move those Stepper motors. Using a combination
of Python or C++ codes or Gcode. Will I able to do this interactively without
have to download or send a whole Gcode file to the TinyG device everytime the
RaspberryPI host needs to send the commands? I did some googling and they said the TinyG require Gcode file to run.
So far, I can not find any 4 channel stepper motor out there
to use for my POC. There are lot of multiple part that one can put together, However, I am look for one an integrate controller board.
Thank you for your input and comments
