Thank you! Send me the Fanuc document you have. I'm curious of what you saw. Machine position never includes tool length offset, absolute position from current work offset includes TLO, which would be the 5040 variables, not the 5020.
You guys might actually like Siemens cycle calls, they look more like function calls in cpp 😊. Cycle81(0.1, -3, 1) In fact, anyone that prefers programming languages over G code would love Siemens high level because it's fairly close to a programming language in functionality. No other control I've been on let's you define string, integer and real number multi dimensional arrays. It's great for creating point clouds with a probe. Def nck real variablename[5,5] The variable table (gud) functionality of a Siemens control would be a great addition to LinuxCNC. I know lcnc can store data in the ini, but it would be nice to be able to read and write non volatile data instead of just reading it through #<_ini or having it in a volatile state with #1-#5000. In Fanuc land, #100-#199 are either volatile or non volatile depending on parameter setting and #500-#599 are all non volatile (#999 as a control option) Not sure how valuable you guys would find my control knowledge, but I'm more than happy to help with future development of things in this arena. I've got over 2 decades of fanuc and Mitsubishi (including mazatrol) experience and about a decade with siemens. One of my main functions at my job is writing logic to help customers with difficult/special case issues. I'm also expert level with Mori conversational programming (used to be top notch mazatrol but haven't touched it in about 15 years) and I'm pretty good with Siemens shop mill, which I find lacking in a lot of ways. For you guys working on conversational stuff, I'd be more than happy to show what is currently out in the market to use as an example for lcnc development as well. Just let me know how I can be of assistance 😊 Phil T.
