Remora - ethernet NVEM / EC300 / EC500 cnc board

Great progress, when finished rc 1 i will be try it on mu NVEM board version 3 and can make some testing..

hello, I'm new to LinuxCNC, but I have some knowledge about Mbed. I have checked what control systems are available for routers, and LinuxCNC is a well known one.
I couldn't find some documentation about 'Remora', do have some hints or a few words what it is? The protocol that Mach3 uses for ethernet communication? Edit: ok, found the Remora docs, have something to read.

About software for the F207 with Mbed: haven't used this MPU yet, but I'm using VSCode for Mbed programs. Its more flexible for using non Mbed-enabled stuff and with cortex-debug extension, you can use a lot of different debug probes. Setup is more difficult than using Mbed Studio, but at least it works.

Hi, 

The Remora documentation can be found at  remora-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ . I really need to update them as there has been further development on Ethernet implementation.

Remora uses a simple protocol which is the same for SPI or Ethernet.

I'll need to investigate VS-Code with Mbed. The last time I used it was with PlatformIO.
 

Remora-NVEM is now at a point for release candidate testing. All features of the board are now available including the spindle 0-10V analogue out. I think I've killed the PWM to 0-10V converter IC on my board just when I was finally testing this. So it would be great for someone to check this out. The analogue out is mapped to SP[0].

A precompiled binary file available in the Firmware directory. Use an ST-Link to flash to the board. Development thread < forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/44828-rem...ernet-nvem-cnc-board >

There is also a new LinuxCNC component in the LinuxCNC directory in the Remora Ethernet feature branch < github.com/scottalford75/Remora/tree/fea...omponents/Remora-eth >

The firmware has been developed in STM32CubeIDE. Please note that binary files produced under the Debug profile will crash the board due to the heavy additional debug code included. Use a release profile, or disable / remove Modules from the Base thread when doing testing or development requiring debug capabilities.

Is the manufacturer aware that their board is now LinuxCNC-compatible?

Hi Andy, 

I found a hotmail address for Novusun and have sent them an email. It will be interesting to see if they respond and are interested in this.
