Half the experiment is done already. I forgot a bit. Since at the time I was not into motion control so much.

A hexaglide is a 6 axes single head motion configuration that can be used as a milling machine for instance. Various universities have made many promises about it. But the market is slow.

And there is an evening of free beer for those who can beat these performance figures on an stm32f7xx. in Ada. 
There should be little difference in raw speed. At the most the 604 is 1.5 times as fast but not as measured inside an Apple, Then the are about equal.

I will see if I can twist an arm for the software. So far I only saw the package spec files of the system.

Otherwise I am unfortunately still a bit overloaded at the moment

cheers,
