Hello List, I have a question about the usage the axes A and B in EMC, can I use them in the same way as the linear axes X and Y? Is there another possibillity to control 4 independent axes in EMC?
I'm asking about 4 axes because I'm thinking about to support G-Code and EMC in my hot-wire foamcutting application FoamBlade (http://foamblade.sourceforge.net). At this time the process in FoamBlade is as follows: at first a Python program is used to create, edit and interpolate the cut-path. Then a simple C program is used to do the motor control. This program does only read bytes from a file and writes them in realtime (rtai) to the parallel port. Currently I'm thinking about to add a lot of features to the C prog. or to leave it away completely. In the latter case I would use EMC to do the machine controling. I'm neither used to G-Code nor to EMC but I tried to write some G-Code in the way I would create with FoamBlade. G93 600 #new parameters every 100ms(worst case) G01 X+0.4 Y-0.4 A+0.0 B-0.0 G01 X+0.0 Y-0.4 A+0.1 B+0.4 G01 X+0.4 Y-0.4 A+0.6 B-0.4 ... .(lots of them (maybe thousands)) ... .... I would be happy about your comments... greetings Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
