[Emc-users] adaptive feed reverse run

I am running linuxcnc 2.8.0 and use adaptive feed. It is however not possible with negative values. It works all the way down ot zero motion but no backwards. I know there is a negative feed rate branch but do anybody know where it is? Nicklas Karlsson

Yes it is, thanks. I merged it into my local slightly modified version of master. It stop but no reverse run even though motion.adaptive_feed = -1 There are not to many changes so I expect to nail it down rather fast. Nicklas Karlsson On Thu, 16 Jun 2016 15:17:18 -0500 sam sokolik wrote
