But its not particularly important that it be dead accurate, so I am thinking along the lines of a timedelay, triggered when motion.probing goes true, and firing 1 or 2 seconds later. All I need is something to give it a probe signal before it bails out. Everything it does would move slightly with the timedelay, but its all in unison in pixels on the screen & not even any cut pixal swarf on the desk to clean up. :)
Triggered on motion.motion-type=5 is s32 format, a comp module would needa data conversion in front of it. I don't see a thing there that can directly take the s32 signal from motion, without first making it a float. I'll have to cogitate on that when I've had some sleep I guess. Its been in short supply while I try to add this pointed roundover bit to code that just works when a .250" end mill is in the spindle. The problem is that while it needs to follow the same path the .250" mill is using, including the rounded corners but with only a 20 thou or less offset from the center of the 1/4" mill. But the 90 degree arcs for the corners are as usual, being spoilt, screaming brats. One other squawk. Clicking on a line in the backplot highlights that line of code, but where the running highlight is very obvious, a near red with the dark text, the highlight color used when clicking on a backplot line is medium grey, and the text is quite difficult to read because there is very little contrast. The backplot turns the path line bright green, and it would be a visual treat to have that color used to highlight that line of code in the text window too, many times easier to read. /squawk.
