When adding new commands, some of these things are a bit obscure to me. This
doesn't affect me personally but for others who want to add new gcodes it might
help to document the following:
1.) How to tell what the debug address should be, for example in that commit:
configs/sim/axis/lathe.ini and also, LOG_LEVEL is a bit confusing at first
glance. Generally a log level is between 0 and 9, not in the tens of thousands.
What is the parameter range for LOG_LEVEL and what does this directly affect?
2.) In src/emc/rs274ngc/interp_array.cc there is "const int Interp::_gees[] ={"
-- What is the difference between -1 and 1, and why does 640 start with a 13?
What does 13 mean?
3.) In src/emc/rs274ngc/interp_internal.hh -- G_71 is defined as 710. Why 710
and what is 710 referring to? A bit further down there is startx, startz, endx,
endz, etc. however in that one commit, that is the only instance of those, as
well as the only reference to lathe_canned_cycle_profile_struct.
4.) In src/emc/rs274ngc/rs274ngc_pre.cc -- At the bottom is the "initialization
stuff for G71 control." Why is _setup.g71_start_block and _setup.g71_end_block
set at -1? Why not 0 or 1? What if start_block is at -1 and end_block is at 1
or 0? How do you know what to use?
The rest I can make sense out of as it's pretty straight forward. The answers
to these questions should help others out interested in adding new commands.
Thanks!
Alec
