No it does not fail, we can always send new commands in real time to be executed “right away” (at the current time) and make the queued execution system look and act as if there were no queue. A command taged with the current time will jump to the front of the queue. The system also allows

LCNC really should be doing this. If the Measa cards would maintain a queue and a synchronized clock we would not care at all about latency. Klipper proves the idea works. This is basically what Mach 3/4 do This fails as soon as you need the control to repond to feedback in real time

For those on this LCNC list who have not seen Klipper, Klipper’s architecture is very much like Linux CNC’s. Like LCNC, the g-code interpreter, kinematics, and motion planning live in a “real computer” like a Raspberry Pi. Or I was running it on a virtual machine running Linux on my Mac
