I finally got around to porting
JR Kerr's NMC library
(supports the
PIC-SERVO,
PIC-IO
and
PIC-STEP)
to Linux for use on the
Blue
Cube. A few years ago I hacked together a driver based
on some example code, but the performance was sub-optimal
and it was littered with bugs. I was inspired after running
across
Alan Kilian's code from his Circuit Cellar article, and
decided to just rewrite the whole thing. As far as compiling
is concerned, it's still a bit of a mess, but if you are
interested you can get it
here.
At some point I'll throw together some GNU Autotools
scripts, but it's usable as-is. Now that I have a working
motion controll system, it's time to start writing an
interface for
CARMEN.
