It should not be that hard to export current axis positions and get it into FreeCAD. Look at machinekit, they have remote control and toolpath display. Pause/run/start, override of feed and spindle speeds also is easy.
Detecting chatter is not that easy. Slowing down may be wrong, sometimes it is better to speed up.
Doing on-the-fly adjustments of toolpaths in CAM integrated into a machine control would be a major research project.
- DannyBee 8y ago"Detecting chatter is not that easy. Slowing down may be wrong, sometimes it is better to speed up." Errr? Detecting chatter is easy, and in fact, the latest spindles output the current tool vibration rate over your choice of fieldbus. That's fairly basic, much more advanced things are done. "Doing on-the-fly adjustments of toolpaths in CAM integrated into a machine control would be a major research project." Why? Toolpaths are already adjusted on the fly. Integrating CAM does not make this particularly harder - any of these machines have hardware motion planning anyway. Adding another FPGA or two to accelerate 5 axis movement calculation would not materially change their cost.
