I know this subject has been discussed before but my application of what I've read isn't bearing fruit for me and if someone could just give me an example,I think I could clear things up for myself.
Okay,let's just say I am at x0y0z0. To simplify ,let's use just the x-axis. Say we want to move the x-axis +1",then back to zero 5 times. What would the gcode/subroutine commands look like?
Ultimately I would like to include an A-axis move during the X move (I am winding a coil on the cnc) but if I could get the X to do what I'd like,I think I could figure the rest out.
Also,what is the qualification I've been reading about Mach3's relationships between P and O and L and Q ,about?Thanks,Keith
