Re: [Emc-developers] RFC: Reduce number of HAL pin types.

Seems like there could be a significant performance hit for 32 bit architectures. We don’t directly use LinuxCNC, but EMCApplication is a shallow fork of LinuxCNC that will occasionally pull from upstream. We use EMCApplication on the BeagleBone Black, which is a 32 bit architecture and is

Hi all, I'm hoping someone might have some insight into an error I encountered today. I have a roughly 11,000 line G code program, with a bad cutter compensation code (Length of cutter compensation entry move is not greater than the tool radius) about 4,500 lines into the program. The read-ahead
