Ok, here goes! I am the designer of a CNC Quilting machine for my wife, the client. The client wants a new ability added to the Mach3 quilting program that I designed. She would like to have the ability to set the sewing head at a specific location, and then move it to another location, let's say going from the left edge of the quilt to the right edge of the quilt, and push a button that will log the distance travelled, and based on that measurement, calculate how many times a given pattern will repeat in the space measured. I am certain that it can be done, but being the dummy that I am, and definitely not a math wiz, I am pulling out my hair.
Does anyone have any ideas?
