The following is a list of G-codes that are different in the latest TRUNK vs. the last EMC1 revision. This list was compiled by writing a short C program with the two arrays of G-code groups (from EMC1 and EMC2), and printing the code for any that differ.
G5, G5.1, G5.2, G5.3, G7, G8, G17.1, G18.1, G19.1, G28.1, G30.1, G33, G33.1, G38.3, G38.4, G38.5, G41.1, G42.1, G43.1, G73, G76, G90.1, G91.1, G95, G96, G97 Maybe someone can consolidate the descriptions of these into a separate differences document. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
