Title: Gcode -using a period in parameters
Post by: Fred_evans on June 25, 2012, 11:21:25 AM

Hello There all of you

I am writing a program which will output gcode for simple machining

If I am using a parameter as say for instance
#11=30.5    ( where 30.5 is a dimension for roughing out)

Is it allowable to use a period within the paramater for instance
#11.1= 30.0 ( where 30.0 is the finished size)

many thanks

NO all #var names MUST be integers.
