Hi all,
I'm new to Linux and EMC2 world,so I'm very noob, but I'm very interested on using it.
I read the docs and the wiki, and I know that EMC can actually support only a limited number of IO board.
My question is: if i want to use any athor board, i have to write a real time driver for it? So the best way is to start from zero or from source code (of course in case the maker release it)?
I found a reseller selling a board that have all the functionality I need (analog output for servo, incremental encoder counter, some digital IO). He make me available a RTAI driver, can I use it directly in EMC? (in fact I know that both have a "HAL" layer, is the same?)
The question arise because I'm italian (sorry for my english), and I'm looking for an interface board from a reseller/producer in Italy or at least in Europe.
