The original reporter is adamant that cycles should support both radius and diameter mode (and insists that other controllers do this). I don't think that diameter mode has any meaning in the context of a canned cycle. I think that the best (and "least surprise") solution is to reject canned cycles in diameter mode.

[Emc-developers] How closely do we need to adhere to the NIST standard?
Apart from anything else, I am not sure that it is a standard. This is based on bug report #2956. Our current behaviour does not match the NIST RS274 interpreter "report" from 2000. The last actual "RS" standard (ie the RS in RS274) was issued in the 1970s. There is an ISO standard from 1982, and then the NIST EMC report from 2000. My own feeling is that any deliberate deviation from the NIST v3 report is not a "bug" as such, and that perhaps we should simply close the "bug" as a "feature".

Are you aware of the STMBL project? That would seem like a very good starting point, as it already plays well with LinuxCNC, and works with a wide range of feedback types (Hall sensors, resolvers, encoders and serial protocols) In fact you could probably copy the LV board with only minor changes (to account for component obsolescence) and make a new HV/power board. https://github.com/rene-dev/stmbl/blob/master/README.md -- 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, 1912 ___ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
[Emc-developers] Canned cycles on the lathe, in the G19 plane
it has been pointed out in a bug report that if you run the canned cycles in lathe diameter mode in the G19 plane, then the X axis is in diameter, but the R value (retract position) is in radius. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/2948 I am fairly sure that whatever is done, the R and X should do the _same_ thing. But I rather feel that you would expect to drill a hole to a radius, not to a diameter? The reporter wants X and R to both use diameter in diameter mode. The worry about fixing this is that it might break existing G-code. It might need to be an INI switch. :-( -- 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, 1912 ___ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers

[Emc-developers] 2.9.2
There are a number of important bug fixes waiting for release (including that I broke run-from-line in Axis. Oops). I plan to make a 2.9.2 release in the next few days. This is largely predicated on me figuring out how to fix the Bullseye builds, which looks to be just putting the newer po4a where the Bullseye buildbot can find it. I am hoping not to have to hand-build all the debs again, like I did for the 2.9.1 release. Why did I have to do that? Because between me creating the tag and pushing it, there was a commit made. Well. maybe my fault, I could have done a --dry-run, but that still leaves a window of opportunity for a commit to break the process. This was nobody's fault, but it meant that the tag got pushed, but not the commit (or vice-versa) and the buildbot didn't make the debs. The build notes at http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseCheckList do say: "Ideally make it so no one will commit to the release branch while you're working, but I'm not sure how to do this." So, two requests: 1) Tell me now if there is anything that you are working on that you want to see in 2.9.2 2) From now until I say otherwise, please check this mailing list for a post entitled "2.9 frozen until further notice" -- 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, 1912 ___ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers

Is this related to wanting to do height mapping, or laser rastering, or something? Whilst this could be done with shared memory, you might also want to look at using the HAL port to send the data serially. This is how the "raster" HAL component does it: https://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/man/man9/raster.9.html Both the HAL "port" and the raster comp are pretty new.

Errors like thiswill often me flagged during the preview stage. otherwise I think that the interpreter stops at "queue busters" and so you won't see the error until execution is in the queue section of the code.

It seems that, once again, I was impossibly optimistic.

[Emc-developers] 2.9.1 Release Status
To an extent, 2.9.1 has already been released, but I have not made the announcement yet as I was wanting to be able to offer RTAI debs too. So far we have debs for uspace in linuxcnc.org/dists for Buster, Bullseye and Bookworm. There are also RTAI kernel debs and mesaflash debs in /dists/ too. There is an ISO image for amd64 and an image for Pi4 in linuxcnc.org/iso Thanks to Rod for a lot of work on the infrastructure, and for building the Pi image. All the other debs have been built by hand by myself, because the buildbot didn't seem to want to do it. Steffen uploaded the new release to Debian Unstable today. That means that it should be in Trixie. How (and if) we can get a bugfix version into Debian is an unknown at the moment. I will send out the release announcement on Sunday, after editing the install instructions etc. I still hope to build an RTAI deb. However, whilst building a RIP for RTAI works fine, for some reason the deb building system is broken for RTAI. This doesn't really make sense (and most of the problems are with building docs under RTAI, which makes even less sense. And trying to turn off docs makes things worse). I can only assume that the build system for debs has bitrotted while we haven't been building them on the buildbots. I am going to start again from scratch this evening, as I have learned a fair bit during the last couple of weeks of trying to build the RTAI debs. Note that I have been building and running RTAI RIP continually for years, the problems are only in the deb build process. -- 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, 1912 ___ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
