Greetings guys; Sort of early for me, retired old fart etc, doesn't live by a clock, but I did make a good board last night!
I had pcb-gcode drilling holes only halfway through the board, so they would meet in the middle and ANAICT the error is not over a thou or so. How sweet it is! But one thing, while working on this, that bothered me quite a bit and slowed this registration fine tuning down, was that a function file like the one I use to probe for tool lengths at each tool change, is not shown in the gcode window as it runs, which made me resort to (msg, etc) and (debug, etc) statements in the "o<subname> call" files to see what it was doing. Was this omission in how the gcode in a called file is displayed a conscious choice, or is it something that could be called a bug and could be easily fixed? I was running the next to latest master-rt branch last night. I see it was updated and I did update LinuxCNC after I was finished last night. I will see if I can get pix of the board posted on my page in the next day. While I am editing that, should I change the emc references to LinuxCNC just to keep the other guys off my back? Seems like it should be done for consistency. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
