No reason I couldn't map an offset vs spindle, usable at backgear speeds or maybe even in 1st gear direct. Something I could feed into the offset thru a sum2 from a lookup table based on a MOD of encoder by scale function for the table index. Something like a 240 tap deep lincurve, but can the pi4 handle that in real time. Doubtfull as I can see other timeing problems Despite the newer power supply giving me 40+ ipm at the x axis, I doubt the pi4 has enough processing power to pull that off. The ultimate limit would be reached by adding a base-thread, which I don't have now, because that sort of thing would need response at per encoder edge. That speed limit then would be the 1 kilohertz servo-thread write to the stepgen.
One might experiment to find what those limits are with a siggen module if it could be synched by a phase locked loop running at 6x spindle index. Since its default is 1 hertz, it might make more sense for testing to go to backgear and turn the spindle at 1/6th turn per second, increaseing the gain of the triangle until a following error occurs. And finding the minimum time for the phase-locked loop to stabilize the spindle speed before advanceing the tool into cutting position, I can imagine cutting a bolt head compatible with a 12 point box end wrench, but not the pretty flats Sam got. That would require running a sine signal thru an ABS function in real time adjusting the gain for flatness of facets. Since thats a floating point function, servo-thread at 1 kilohertz would be its speed limit. But is that speed limit usable? IDK. :( Middle of the night thought experiments, darned things cost me sleep but never get done...
