Hello guys,
I'm Reinhard and I wrote an UI application for linuxcnc which uses nml-
interface only. The app works fine so far.
But on testing it together with axis and linuxcnc-simulation I realized
several quirks and shortcomings of the backend like:
- no process time
- current line number does

You could try asking specific questions.

Well, that's true and not true ;)
Of cause, there is a lot of gcode, which is not motion code.

all the spindle control function do not.
probably why you can't ( I haven't tried to actually) single step them

Well, I don't really understand the benefit of that feature.
Why not use brackets for multiline comment?
That is "standard" for many cnc-controllers and it is easy to use.
Block delete could be implemented as a filter fu

Block delete is not used for comment lines. Block delete causes the control
to ignore the line with the block delete symbol during control operation. I
have seen controls with multiple levels of block delete.
I have found very limited use for one level of block delete and have never
used a second l
Hi,
> Block delete is not used for comment lines.
I know. I was suggesting, that in case block delete is not supported, using
brackets (character for multiline comment) could offer same functionality and
you need less characters to disable multiple lines.
> I haven't used block delete for over
Way back when (79,80) I ran machine with a GE Mark Century 100 control. The
control was built in 1958. No tool length offets, the zero position was
adjusted with thumb wheel dials and no memory only a tape reader. Block
delete was useful then because there was no program changes at the machine.
If
Block delete as in optional gcode lines -nothing to do with comments.

Thanks for the link! Will have a look.
Just rebuilt lc with debugging flags enabled.
Any hint, how to best get into taskmanager?

Whow! You're really dedicated to LC.
I'm impressed!
So let me just say thank you - even if I don't understand your work (yet?).
