possibly, but a more principled hack would be to interface it at the point where it calls the low lever Catmull-Rom spline, and just evaluate it in reverse. I do not know how difficult that would be, but it would require the ability to move in the negitive direction. I have written things like this for moving along splines with custom code, but I would have to look into how to do this in EMC-s low level motion planning. Probably the easiest thing to do would be to set up a "reverse-motion" pin in HAL, and then evaluate it internally, or modify the adaptive move command to allow positive/negitive feedback voltage which would imply forward/reverse of motion. Anyway that is my thought off the cuff. EBo -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
