This Projekt enables you to connect an Arduino to LinuxCNC and provides as many IO's as you could ever wish for. This Projekt enables you to connect an Arduino to LinuxCNC and provides as many IO's as you could ever wish for.
This Software is used as IO Expansion for LinuxCNC.

You can create as many digital & analog Inputs, Outputs and PWM Outputs as your Arduino can handle. You can create as many digital & analog Inputs, Outputs and PWM Outputs as your Arduino can handle.
You can also generate "virtual Pins" by using latching Potentiometers, which are connected to one analog Pin, but are read in Hal as individual Pins.
It also supports Digital LEDs such as WS2812 or PL9823. This way you can have as many LEDs as you want and you can also define the color of them with just one Pin.

In LinuxCNC each LED is listed as one Output that can be set to HIGH and LOW. For both States you can define a color per LED. In LinuxCNC each LED is listed as one Output that can be set to HIGH and LOW. For both States you can define a color per LED.
This way, you can make them turn on or shut off or have them Change color, from Green to Red for example. This way, you can make them turn on or shut off or have them Change color, from Green to Red for example.
