That makes sense, I was wondering because after over 30 years of working, I'm still learning!
I have used G code quite a bit but in a very limited environment. My mill is a Bridgeport with Anilam Crusader II control and I'm now in the process of converting it to LinuxCNC. This is just my home hobby machine and I don't work with CNC at my workplace. So my G code experience includes just the capabilities of my Crusader II control, nested loops but with machine coordinate offsets to do rows and columns of parts in one piece of material, but most things are manual like spindle control, coolant, etc., very basic I/O on the old control. Part of the improvement I hope to gain is spindle control, that brings me taping capability but I read that G84 in LinuxCNC isn't implemented. I think I could write an "O" subroutine for what I'm wanting to do but I was hoping to figure out how to do it in C/C++. I've used C on a few projects over the years before and I love it so far. My projects using "C" have been interfacing a school scoreboard to a PC and writing the code to control it in "C", writing a program to save and load Allen Bradley vision system programs to/from the controller to flash memory, and some Arduino programs using C along with the Arduino "sketch". I love your tutorials, very helpful for getting going with features of LinuxCNC G code programs I haven't worked with. I'm know how to write what I'm wanting G84 to do in C but I don't know how to tie it in with LinuxCNC. For example I might use parameters like rigid tapping uses but instead of synchronizing with the spindle, I would calculate feed by RPM X Pitch and feed at 95%, maybe stopping the spindle at 95% of z depth (thinking that taps feeding ahead of the spindle). I have no idea how to get LinuxCNC to respond to something I could write in C but I'm trying to find and understand the info.

My theory is when you no longer learn from your mistakes you think too highly of yourself.
