[Emc-developers] sim gotchas in sim/axis/lathe

2014-04-10 Thread Gene Heskett
It appears to me that the command to switch from inch to metric, is incompletely done. Or too completely. Fspeed for instance, is not scaled up to the metric equ, so the sim runs painfully slow. This was observed executing old code probably written in 2.5.0 days and being used just to

[Emc-developers] Unit conversions in Canon

2014-04-10 Thread Robert Ellenberg
Just had a thought about the canon layer. It would be really nice if CANON_POSITION was unit-aware: typedef struct { double axis[9]; (or just 9 doubles) unit_t lin_unit; unit_t ang_unit; } CANON_POSITION; unit_t would be an enum representing each known unit (in, mm, deg, rad, sec,

Hmm, I'll take a closer look at this over the weekend. I suspect this issue is due to one of the recent fixes. Do you still see violations if the Z axis limit is the same as X and Y? On Thu, Apr 10, 2014 at 9:57 PM, sam sokolik sa...@empirescreen.com wrote: Ok - I found another issue. I have
