Minor correction - The changes were made on a branch of the original EMC code. The bug fixes were merged in to the BDI-4 branch of emc2, but possibly not in to the main trunk. > IMO the proper way to handle these things will require a major rework > and expansion of the EMC2 task planning code.

Now this does require changes at the task planner level, and also in the trajectory planner - Manual moves & unplanned tool changes opens up a number of problems associated with tool offsets. > IMO there is a solution to this and several other "issues" but it would > require a significant revision of the interpreter code. There is/was an extensible interpreter being worked on that allowed for custom G/M codes via a config file - The intent was to provide different "personalities" to emulate various controls (i.e. Fanuc or Heidenhain) along with closer coupling of PLC functions.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
