No, there is no 64-bit HAL pin to export the count on. The point of using the 64 bit internal counter is so that the floating-point position that is calculated from counts is reliable. And then it only really matters for spindles, rather than axes. Just about the only application where I can imagine is mattering would be a hobbing machine that runs for days on end. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
