I did notice those were visible (via emc.stat()) and settable on both sides. It doesn't seem to be possible to get the analog values inside the gcode (to drive a O subroutine) though. Right now what I'm doing is passing a lot of parameters in a `O- call' because those are much more flexible than M101 P/Q. The gcode subroutine makes multiple M101-style calls to accumulate the parameters on the outside. No data can flow back from M101 this way, though. As I mentioned in another question that also interferes with my plan to find the M101 comment to use as a string argument. -- Ben Jackson AD7GD <b...@ben.com> http://www.ben.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses from deploying virtual desktops?
