I bought the commercial version specifically so I could make a support
call. No need to change anything now, and I know what to do when this

It's probably not the interpreter that needs improvement, actually. HAL
can handle as many actuators as you want (subject to some execution time
limits that nobody has come close to yet). One could easily write a

Once you get into Hal you can gear axes, start and stop motion
independant of any other axes, load distances to travel etc.
It is sort of a motion erector set. Very capable.
I've done some things with it but I feel like I have only scratched the
surface of it's capabilities.
And then you can

I can envisage a HAL component that has parameters X0, Y0, Z0, X1, Y1,
Z1 and SequenceNo.
Outputs would be Pos-X, Pos-Y, PosZ, at-home, input would be

An interpreter that takes in this file format or similar would be a much
better match for this kind of machine. The HAL layer would need to have
all the stepgens and hardware drivers loaded as a single realtime system,
but the stepgens would be fed by a custom interpreter and simplified
