I transferred the G0704's axis limits and homing of such to my sim on this machine, and thats been quite handy at locating bits of code that exceed the limits on the real machine. Also to simulate a tool contact that I occasionally do to map something, or to measure TLO's is now simulated by a 1.5 second timer to satisfy the g38.2 function. Not at all accurate of course, but it lets me run the huge majority of my gcode concoctions in the sim for other error checking.
