Re: [Emc-users] Math Q

Gene, The bolt circle is right at 2" (50.8mm) diameter on the MPG I got. Funny it is not metric. A 43mm hole in the panel works perfect for letting it sit flush. Hope that helps! Kurt On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 9:27 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > Greetings all; > > Thee MPJA dials have 3 mounting bol

Greetings all; Thee MPJA dials have 3 mounting bolts at 120 degree intervals. Measuring across the nut flats on the outside of the flats, and adding that same flat to flat inside distance, * .5 gets me a center to center bolthole to bolthole distance of 43.835mm. That sort of trig escapes my

[Emc-users] Math Q

Greetings all; A couple of question regarding the math used in gcode handling. 1. What is the best way to turn a positive value into its exact negative? I find constructs like g0x-[#<_var>] are rejected out of hand, but its seems like there ought to be a better way than #<_var-minus> = [[#<_v
