Andy, When originally written, it was basically a cut and paste from function emc_rel_cmd_pos (etc. for the other functions) found in emcsh.cc, mainly with the tcl stuff removed. I do not recognize that code, unless they diverged at some point. We should check the diffs to see either when this was introduced or when they diverged.
Regards, Eric A couple of people have reported puzzlement with linuxcncrsh and the reporting of REL_CMD_POS Looking at the code, there does seem to be what is probably a long-lasting cut-and-paste error. in emcrsh.cc in getRelCmdPos (1644) and getRelActPos (1704) and in half of getPosOffset (1765) the g5x offsets are added or subtracted twice. I accept that this _might_ be to avoid a multiplication in time-critical code. But I doubt it. I have a strong suspicion that the second g5x offset was meant to be a g92 offset, as is the case in the rotary axis calcs in getPosOffset. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
