Greetings all; The gcode blanket chest file has grown, and is driving me barzakers at times. Its not a long trip. ;-)
Its as if its out of named global variable space, or named conditional labels space and getting the names mixed up. Variables change values with nothing changing them, All this because you cannot troubleshoot a subroutine, any errors in it are blamed on the line calling it. That has a relatively high grade vacuum suckage after a while. Are there plans afoot to address that lack at some point? So I have been about 10 hours a day since last Friday, converting it into more or less 100% inline code with probably 50 or more conditionals to control the flow, finally getting it in shape to do a test carve in #1 clear white pine just this evening. _If_ I can catch this warping and waining mahogany as it seasons in my heated garage I'll be doing even better. I ripped out some 3/4x1.25 trim strips a few days ago, and it sometimes got a death grip on the riving knife of my table saw. 2 more strips off the same board later it would be hanging open 3/8" 2 feet past the knife. My pin meter says it's about 4.1 to 5.3% moisture. Considering that the worlds supply of mahogany has been sunk in a river in Honduras for around 100 years, pulled up and dried in the last year, its probably the best I can get. Now my biggest problem is the size diffs between the good white pine, and the nearly 1 thousand bucks worth of mahogany in nominally the same S4S size. Its not at all consistent even in thickness, varying as much as 28 thou over the width of a 1x12 board. But I think I am making progress, the fitted joints are looking decent with less than 5 minutes of sanding with 320 grit per board end, something that was closer to 3 hours for both ends of a board when I made the first one. I am however, in the process of losing the 2nd set of switches I use on the jig's gage motor. Is there such a thing as a switch in that physical size formet with contacts that can survive a 750 milliampure motor? These $5 a bag of 10 fleabay specials ain't those. Thanks all.
