Greetings all; I have some code in my Sheldon's hal file that accepts a value from gcode, #<_tpmm> or #<_tpi> that twiddles that value shipped across motion and then shows me via a pyvcp text box, the numerical distance value of the overshoot from inertia between the initiance of the reverse at the bottom of the g33.1 and the actual maximum overshoot before it gets stopped, which with an 8" 40 lb chuck mounted can exceed 3 turns at 300 rpms to slow and get the first 1.5 degrees of the reverse done.
Works good but atm doesn't autoconvert metric/imperial. Thats a relatively minor detail involving the units module. and a sum2. Now what I want to do is ship that derived value back from hal to the gcode side of motion, so I can decrease the g33.1 depth and automatically adjust it to prevent the taps breakage from hitting the bottom of the hole. How can I do that backwards data transfer? The M6# codes don't seem to fit this. Thanks all. .
