And it generates a nice 4 axis dro on the r-pi. But 500+ loc when all I need are two halpins supplying a true/false? I don't need the display, just the status.

Stripped of the gui stuff, slimmed down to just the X & Z queries, with 2 output halpins, it may be something I could add to the jog-thread, currently running at 100hz. But I doubt if I am the one to do it. > Norbert > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >-------- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's > most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > 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.
