Hm, yes, those will need to be implemented. As a hack... You can put anything into the generated code with the literal() function. It simply outputs anything you like. > Also the other typical switches, such as radius comp on/off, > absolute/relative (G90, G90.1) The relative/absolute question is actually a bit more involved. I have been pondering that one from when I started. The question is whether you want the meta-language or the generated code to support relative/absolute. Currently, the generated G-code is absolute by choice because it is easier to debug. There is, as such, no added value to mix relative/absolute in the generated target. Supporting relative addressing at the meta-language level /is/ a good thing. I just have not yet addressed that point. Some functions need to be added for relative movement and at least: - move() move_r() - goto() goto_r() - arc_cw() arc_cw_r() - arc_ccw() arc_ccw_r() I do track the current absolute position internally, and it is exposed to the script under the variable name "global_position". There is also a variable called "global_offset", which holds the command-line added offset for all generated code. > Is G43 implicit in toolchange() ? No, currently the toolchange() only emits a T code. I think it may be appropriate to send a "Tx" followed by "G43 Hx". It may also be appropriate to enable/disable this behavior with an optional second boolean parameter to toolchange(). -- Greetings Bertho (disclaimers are disclaimed) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
