Michael, Thanks - I'm going to have a good look into that lot. I had previously seen it, but only when looking for something else.

Ben -----Original Message----- From: Michael Haberler [mailto:mai...@mah.priv.at] Sent: 26 August 2012 10:23 To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Subject: Re: [Emc-users] G71 lathe roughing cycle Ben, after reading your patch I found not a single line which warrants the modification of the interpreter at the C level. The whole thing can be done in an O-word procedure, maybe a bit of Python glue, as a remapped code, which is in master, and in a stable fashion for the better part of this year. And it is exactly the use case for which I developed the remapping extension in the first place. Please read http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/remap/structure.html , and see the examples under configs/sim/remap. The chapter on 'Creating new G code cycles' http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/remap/structure.html#_creating_new_g _code_cycles_a_id_remap_g_code_cycles_a will be particularly helpful. If you need help on the first steps of getting a remapped code working, I am happy to help. However, I resist low-level extensions duplicating higher-level functionality with the extra onus of "C++ skills required for adaptation or fixes". - Michael Am 26.08.2012 um 01:59 schrieb Ben Potter: > I have been working on an implementation of the G71 roughing cycle for > lathes.
