Question: Would you design something in today's world that had any sort of hard-coded limit (other than maybe native memory size)? If so, why? I envision a future where gcode files are split into 1 Gig chunks because Microsoft^H LinuxCNC can't handle files bigger than that(*). Also, if I'm not the only one seeing load-time issues with gcode files, perhaps the validation and loading of a gcode file could be split. I like validating the gcode, but don't feel like it's necessary to perform that step every time I load the same file into Axis to run a job over again. I was blaming the gcode load times on the "sluggish" 1 GHz ARM on the BeagleBone, but it sounds like the gcode files for 3D printing are towards the larger end of "typical" for LinuxCNC. (*) Obscure reference to the DVD format, and why it uses a collection of 1G VOB files instead of a single large video file. - -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlHoEFQACgkQLywbqEHdNFyqcwCfTsKFbs7hxhOj9aBNC6tXePh1 1ggAmQH9M1i0Ou5ikhvHRQmfieEyDvyr =/Hpv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
