Hi:

 Yeah, Fatal errors tend to do that.. better then the old days of instant blue screen though. Take out a few lines to find what line exactly is causing it. Your code is assuming sucessfull completion by the look of it, if the calls dont properly send you a pointer to the remote though, youll end up querying a null pointer.. and that may be the cause of your trouble..

Hi:

>>wiimotestatus->connected = wiiuse_connect(wiimotes, wiimoteconfig->maxwiimotes);
Now my problem is in the next part-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
     wiiuse_poll(wiimotes, 1);
     wiiuse_motion_sensing(wiimotes[0], 1);
     wiimotestatus->roll = wiimotes[0]->orient.roll;
 
   ....

   Im not familiar with the wii motes calls, but it seems to me youd want to check to make sure the connection worked by checking
 is true or not before calling poll, and after calling connect..

Hi Guys:

  Im working on finish pass, but a recent note that a plunge rate woudl be good also made me add that as its a fair point.

Here's the latest version that allows for a plunge rate to be set for any tool as well.

Terry:

 No, the Turn diags are now outdated due to these changes. Ill revisit them when I know the release version of Mach3 is OK with threading. Theres a few changes I need to make to the Theading dll to be usefull again. It was only experimental as it was.

Thx

Hi Rich:

  No, the fix specifically was for CPU's over 2.1Ghz on PCI timer speed. Originally, the PCI bus ran at 1Mhz,
but it seems over time to have sped up, and some actually run at over 3Ghz.

  Now if you have less than 2.1Ghz, you were fine, but after that the RPM oudl read negative, and the correction would be
negative. Ths version fixes that.

 Peter: Thx for the confirmation, Ill notify Brian as to the fix.
