Probably not until after IMTS.  :(

Steve,

I am now able to read the encoders in the ESS.  THANKS!!!

I ran into a new issue.  I cannot use decimal points on PMC.  I need to do an operation where I multiply the encoder count by a multiplier to get the actual motor potion.  But he operation is truncating decimals.

I did an small sample that probably illustrates the problem better.  I am just diving 5 by 2 to get 2.5, but the simulation only shows 2, truncating the .5.

Let me know if you have any thoughts on doing this.

PMC was never meant to handle decimals as most PLCs don't have decimal registers.  :(  I'll see what it takes to put that in but it may not be trivial at all.  It will not handle strings either, FYI.

Steve,

Do you have any thoughts on this?  We could also move it to lua if you think PMC is not going to be the tool for this.  We wanted to make it in PMC as we did one like for Mach3 using the brains that became very popular as it was very intuitive and easy to use, so users were able to do further implementation to it.

I think I have it working with decimals now.  All of the tests I did showed good results.  But I had to change a lot of code and I might have missed a path or two.  It will be in the next release.

Steve,

I cannot find that built.  I am looking for it in the Development Versions Folder: ftp://ftp.machsupport.com/Mach4/DevlopmentVersions/

I guess they haven't posted it up then.  :(  I just make the builds but I don't put them up on the web site or ftp site.  I'll see if can't find out what's going on.
