Yeah, one could forego the dual NIC’s & use WiFi but I much prefer a hardwired connection. So the requirements were small form factor, dual NIC’s, compatibility with LinuxCNC and good latency. Having 7I92 support means the computer no longer needs a card mounted inside of it making it possible to use a small form factor computer. I also wanted a compact computer that I could mount next to my monitor and keyboard for easy access freeing up space inside my stand. So I decided to upgrade my PCNC 1100 computer to make it more capable with both PP2 and desktop duties. PP2 also provides builtin support for the 7I92 Ethernet Anything I/O card from MESA Electronics. With the release of PathPilot v2.0 (PP2) the base operating system is now supported, at least until 2019, meaning we can easily install additional software to perform desktop duties.
