I think it's cool, especially since I would not
have expected (well until Inline::C) that Perl would
be fast enough to run a welding robot. Could
you please explain this aspect of your project?
I am interested because I know some people who build what could be called 3D printers.. solid objects are built by laying down a thin layer of fine powder and fusing with a laser, then laying down another layer. Custom Windows software is used, and it might be interesting if we could automate all this with standardized, network-aware software. I am interested to know if you use Perl in the modelling phase, in the building of a command list, or in realtime control, and what kind of limitations you have seen. Do you use any straight C (Inline or other driver software) or is it pure Perl? What does Perl enable you to do? Is quicker prototyping/testing better? Have you been able to enhance the system by including other Perl modules? The bass thing is neat. Thanks for the info. In reply to Re: robotic laser welder
