General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 4.0 Rev Update

I have not added the arc lead in and out as I can find NO docs on how it should be done.. if you can show me how it should work in a fanuc manual I will think about adding it.. I think you will find that they add a move to get to the right Rad and then just do an Arc.. The Comp is not taken out in the arc move.. (that would be a spiral not an arc.. )

Thanks

Funny you say that That is what is going to happen I just got a table top machine in for the Gcode guy and need to wire that up ... As soon as that is done and the OpenGL is working as it should I am going to start on the turn toolpath.. I am also going to build in a few more tools (programming tools) for your toolposts..  I wish I could go faster but I just can't

Just an FYI it looks like windows 7 is going to be okay as well Good things !

Also I have an "expert" in Gcode that I am working with to make 100% sure that the Gcode interperter is working as it should.. This is going to delay release but I think it is for the best..

Thanks

Just my thinking but, I think if we where to make a Linux version I would not be able to sell it to the normal user.. I would think that it would need to be OEM only. I would never be able to teach the users how to "use" Linux.. The first time I asked them to mount the device so they could read the data they would get mad at me for asking them to do obscene things to there computer.. LOL

I think in the end it is WAY more work then I can do on my own... The amount of MFC code in Mach3 is MASIVE and it would take a team of programmers to move the old "EMC" parts over (they are not the same at all any more ) and the screens.. well that would be the 2nd team.. I wouldn't hold your breath

I am thinking at this time that I will post a link here to the Rev4 software as soon as it is ready for Bata testing  I don't think general public would be happy if I put the link on the web page and have them on the bleeding edge LOL..
Thanks

Rev 4 has been going well.. I have started to send it off to the alpha testers I am working on the Run From Here code, after that is done I need to do reverse run. Then I think it will be just about ready for bata testing

I think Plasma will be after mill as it is very few changes and the same display.. Then Yes you got it Hood TURN! Turn is going to take me a long time as I would like to redo most of the turn code

Well back to work for me
