Explanation: Someone on the forum has noticed spurious "Program exceeds extents" messages after switching from 2.4 to 2.5: http://www.linuxcnc.org/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,20/func,view/catid,38/id,11750/lang,english/
Copying his config, I get exactly the same problem in 2.6 but not in 2.4.3 (I have seen the problem myself, too, but always assumed I had messed something up). Modifying axis to always raise the error and also to report out the machine max and calculated extent gave the following results: 2.4.3 Machine Max 6.550, Program Max Y 4.499 (confirmed true by running the program) 2.6 Machine Max 6.550, Program Max 7.937. The forum poster noted that the error wasn't raised if he took out the toolchanges. The Z-offset in his tool table for the selected tool was 3.438. This is exactly the difference between true Y max extent and 2.5 / 2.6 calculated max extent. The patch I have posted makes 2.6 agree with 2.4.3 about program extents. I don't know if it is a correct fix though, nor whether changes need to be made to the alternative code block which follows. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
