Hi Kirk,
Every big windstorm we have has me wondering which tree will fall across our
powerline or house. But I like the trees too much to remove them.
The problem I find when looking for " START_SPEED_FEED_SYNCH " is they are all
either printf functions or null as in they don't appear to do anything:
void START_SPEED_FEED_SYNCH(int spindle, double feed_per_revolution, bool
velocity_mode) {}
After that function (wherever it is and whatever it does) returns the actual
threading pass to the target_z position is done:
STRAIGHT_FEED(block->line_number, boring? safe_x + depth: safe_x -
depth,
start_y, target_z - zoff, AABBCC); //over
The carriage is brought to the correct Z + offset location where the offset is
the tan of the X distance and angle to follow the slope of the thread angle.
Like setting the compound to 29.5 degrees.
Then we wait for some sort of sync. It appears the Z may well be stopped at
this point and the tool is at the depth for cutting the next pass. I guess it
depends on how slow the spindle is moving.
But that parameter "feed_per_revolution" probably is probably used along with
the Z axis "MAX_ACCELERATION" in the INI and HAL files to count out a specific
index position so the START_SPEED_FEED_SYNCH function returns not at the index
position but where it would be given Z axis acceleration at the current angular
velocity of the spindle.
Have I got that right? And if so where is the real code for
START_SPEED_FEED_SYNCH?
