(1) Introduction & Technical situation
I would like to control a MACH3 Breakout Board (red) perhaps with libusb under linux. My present situation is that I do not know anything about the signal structure of MACH3 controlling via USB (as additional information USB 2.0 – plug type B). My aim is to transfer – if it is possible – with a simple synchronous bulk transfer binary data packages to the MACH3 controller (reading and writing). Now I would like to get more informations about the signal structure. It could be that the data length is 64 bit. Furthermore I have one input signal from the controller card, which is to handle.
(2) Questions & Suggestions
(a) Are there experiences controlling this MACH3 controller with C in this forum? I mean this in look to adressing the registers which are to describe with binary data.
(b) Could you give me informations regarding the signal structure, for this purpose I also am open for code snippets in C (reading and writing).
(c) My aim is, I said it before, to send and receive the data in the binary format. It should be possible to read this data from a file and send it to the micrcontroller. A simple application could be a stop or run-signal for a stepper motor.
