Ok I got to test it again today some, and here is what I've found so far. It looks like the g-code with Z and W are running the same as the only Z g-code. The same file runs for the same amount of time both ways.
However I have noticed that it looks like the velocity display on the DRO, is adding the velocity of the W axis to the Z, so that when milling at F80, the DRO will show that the velocity was more than 80. I'm not quite sure how this could be corrected or if it should be. There are configurations where you may want the W and Z velocities to be additive (such as a knee mill) but that situation might be better served by configuring it more like 2 joints serving the Z axis. I don't think it would be right to just completely ignore the W velocity either, because there are situations where the machine may be using only XYW for carving instead of XYZ or XYZW. Maybe some way of only using the most significant velocity of the 2 (Z and W) in the velocity calculation, sounds like a recipe for making something simple (at least on the surface) into something very complicated. Again, it is only what is being shown for the velocity on the DRO that I think is wrong, the actual movement of the the machine looks right, and the run times for the files seem to confirm that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Ellenberg" <rwe...@gmail.com> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Friday, November 27, 2015 10:56:44 AM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] calling Todd Z I just tweaked naive cam detection to handle uvw axes too.
