Both this idea and Kenneths are possible solutions.  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.

Thanks Kenneth & John

Cheers, Gene Heskett
