I'm not sure what you mean by "waypoint optimization". The waypoints are computed by a component called the "trajectory planner". Look at the "EMC Components" picture on this page: <http://www.linuxcnc.org/content/view/42/13/lang,en/> In EMCTASK, the g-code program is interpreted and converted into a sequence of "canonical commands", which are fully digested motion commands. The canonical commands go from there to EMCMOT, which is the motion controller. In EMCMOT, the canonical motion commands get turned into waypoints, and passed (via HAL) to the hostmot2 driver. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
