I've been trying to research Mach3 revision history/bugfixes, but the only thing I found so far was a large text file I saw as painful to search through...can anyone direct me to any bookmarks that may help? or, better yet, maybe someone has had this happen before, and can tell me what's going on?
Our problem with FeedHold pops its ugly head in one of two cases...1) any time we pause on an arc, and 2) any time we try to do anything in between pausing and resuming operation
1) it kind of seems to forget it was on a G2 or G3 line, and instead of resuming as it should, it goes straight to the end of the arc as if it defaults back to G1...this also applies if we pause in between cuts (on a G00, when the head is turned off) and instead of moving quickly, it moves at the current FeedRate
now that I post it, I wonder if it would go straight to the end of a second arc, since our CAM software doesn't include G codes on many lines...something for me to try, I guess (would it be important?)
2) we tend to get very erratic results when we try to shift the origin while its paused (namely, shifting upwards so it doesn't hit the material)
