No.
But you can do this with numbered variables.
So #[100 + #3] is a valid construction.
tholefinder.ngc currently uses #100 and #101 to return the exact xy
location of the bolthole its positioned to check (but that is
adjustable) so I likely will use #200, #210, #220 for the anchor points
of the 3 0-9 element arrays for x,y,z. Any possible interference with
o### etc while/do/etc markers?
How do I initialize that to 0.00000000, the same way, I assume by
#300=0, then #3000=first hole location x while incremnting #300 to 9
#3010=y location etc, #3020=zlocattion. Just to make sure its reserved
when I write the actual data returned from tholefinder (which returns
the exact center of the holes x in #100 y=in #101 etc) to that location
for later use. This will greatly simplify the code, thank you very much
Andy. Even simpler if I don't have to init the storage until I actually
have data to write to that location.
One last Q in this thread, assuming the machine has been homed and I
want to G38.2 z-70. where contact is expected at about -67mm. But I
occasionally get a stop before contact. Noise? Will #5070 tell me?. The
docs for G38.2 should say if the value z is searching for is absolute or
relative from whence it starts. Needs a 1 liner to add that missing
data. Docs are 2.9.0-pre1+git20230208.f1270d6ed7 so pretty old now. but
bookworm isn't offering me anything newer? shouldn't it be up to 2.9.2 now?
Thanks Andy. Stay warm & well.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
