I looked at the source for the edge component. It has a variable called period that isn't declared in the top portion of the component. Does that mean that it is a global variable? If so, is there a convenient source for a list of global variables? By the way, for those new to EMC2, the way I get to the source files is: Go to http://www.linuxcnc.org/ Click on "how to get it" (near the top of the body of the page) Click on "gitweb" (near the bottom of the body of the page) Click on the version number of the EMC2 you are interested in, or in my case, click on "v2.4.5" (just under the "tags" bar) Click on the word "tree" at the end of the line "summary | shortlog | log | commit | commitdiff | tree" Click on "src" (near the bottom of the listing) for omponent source files, click "hal", then "components" or use this link: http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=emc2.git;a=tree;f=src/hal/components;h=180ce8ab8eddfe35a0aee53d66438703638797bf;hb=b5bb7beec1b342eefad29d112f3ab5d77129845f (Short URL) http://alturl.com/i3zi7 -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
