There is a basic G71 and G72 available in a development branch of LinuxCNC. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/BenPotter/G71 Then while working on that branch I made a proof-of-concept version of G71 with pockets, but that exists as a G-code remap in Python. The disadvantage of this remap is that it doesn't do radius compensation properly. The one written in C inside the inerpreter does. Docs here: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/andypugh/g71type2remap/docs/src/gcode/g-code.txt#g71-lathe-roughing-cycle-turning The plan was to convert the Python remap into C and build it in to the interpreter, but I rather ran out of steam with that project. It remains on my list, but I don;t anticipate having it in before the 2.8 release. But if you want it, you can add it via remapping, you need the Python files here in your linuxcnc config directory, and the remap lines from the [RS274NGC] section of the sample INI in your own INI. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/andypugh/g71type2remap/configs/sim/axis/g71 -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
