It might be at some point, but I don't think this is it. This reds like it involves a source code pull and build. While I've built several hundred tarballs over the years, methinks there be hungry dragons in waiting if I tried to build LCNC. Thanks for the suggestion though Todd, its yet another way to skin that famous cat. Adding more vars to the variable.txt file, once LCNC has seen them once, seems to be working well. It has brought its own problems, largely with my math, and I was just forced to reconfigure the Z homing setup to make some room between home and some positive values for Z, up to about .2". That means I have to recalibrate about a dozen vars in my code, but its 22:00 and I'm beat. I did get the non-roundover part doing beautifully fitting joints that are within a couple thou of perfectly symetrical when one of the 2 test boards is flipped top to bottom. A prerequisit to being able to flip the board over and do the roundover on both sides. So for the last 4 hours, I cooked for us, started the dishwasher, and worked on the roundover code sections. Running about 20 thou above the board for exercise, the left edge, end edge, and the inside the finger edge are pretty close, but its overshooting the right edge around 1/4", doing a great job of carving air at 2400 revs. Something wrong with the x run distance calcs in the right corner subroutine. That, and the left corner subroutine needs run straight up another 50 thou, with a corresponding reduction in the radius of the 90 degree curve. I need to make it too small, put it into the wood, and expand it till it traces what the 1/4" mill left, which is supposed to be a 1/8" radius corner, but looking at it, it looks small. But I am about burned out and tomorrow is another day. Thanks Todd. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
