I fully agree. A good start would be for instance to make the trajectory planner (tp/tc) a module like kinematics. The upside would be an easier path to exploring different trajectory planners, for instance Yishin's; that is kind of hard to integrate into the current monolithic blob, without duplicating the code or using conditional compilation or execution, which would just add to the 'huge blob' problem. this requires abstracting, or removing two RT/non-RT layer transgressions in tp/tc where it hooks into emcstatus for CSS and spindle-synced moves, but given the original base code is very well designed and encapsulated, it is a contained effort. I would think something similar could be done for spindle handling. If it is possible to modularize a linux kernel such that it is basically a module-loading skeleton with minimal supporting code, then this should be possible for motion too. -- that is structural rework with no immediate upside, and I have the impression such jobs with longer-term impact are fairly off-the-radar as opposed to the eternally popular shortest possible fix. At least I dont see much of it. - Michael > > Chris M > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Everyone hates slow websites.
