Mach SDK plugin questions and answers. / Re: Motion plugin for virtual hardware(for tests) - lets share our knowledge

I see... I ran into an other problem: I cannot control time step for planning. I set
MainPlanner->ExTime = 1e-6;
MainPlanner->ExternalType   = EX_VMS;
but after initialization, ExTime becomes 0.04 (at 100kHz kernel setting in printer port). If I change it back to 1e-6, motion is carried out normally, but very slow. I want to change time resolution for planner because I have a step/dir converter that requires single steps. Is there an easy way?

Hi!

I have a problem interfacing Mach3. I tried to use Engine->Trajectories, and I found that
1) it has data only when running g-code (from Program Run or MDI tab), but not when driving with keyboard;
2) shown position in mach3 doesn't change when running g-code, only using keyboard - however, Engine->Trajectories[ x ].Points change.

In the implementation found here, I also found MainPlanner->Movements, but in my case, it is always filled with zero values. I use Windows 7 64bit system, without the parallel port driver. Is it possible that in this case, mach3 doesn't plan trajectory, and I should fill MainPlanner->Movements data?
