Yes, in fact I used it in control logic in the original blanket-chest3.ngc code on the toy mill, but changed it for a different way to check a 0 or 1 value when I copied it to the newer machine, as a way to do an "o### IF [#<_var> gt 0.50000000]" construction. But I've never used its output to drive a stepper, yet. Project put on shelf pending aquisition of sufficient raw materiel to make a tool changer for my larger mill. Tools too big for the material I had basically. > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >-------- Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application > Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just > $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective > actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience. > Signup Now! > http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/clk?id=272487151&iu=/4140 > _______________________________________________ > Emc-developers mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
