2.8 allows one to create unlock / is-unlocked pins for any joint. Does it also allow you to assign "locking indexer" status to linear axes?
I have tried, and I am not seeing what I expected to see. Though setting joint 0 with LOCKING_INDEXER does require pin-toggling during homing of the X axis on a trivkins sim. Also, are the docs correct that such joints are only unlocked for G0 moves? The reason I ask is that this function (if it worked with feed moves) would be one possible way to control the moderately common "one motor, many axis + clutch" systems that some old machines have. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
