Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] RE: axis names

Ballendo:

Thanks for the axis info. I doubt somehow, that I'll end up putting in
4--nth axis though. My codes starting to look a little patchy :) just cuz of
circ interp and spindle and I/O
control. I would like to investigate making a more real-time bit pusher for
better timing. If anyone knows approximately how to make win98 work in
real-time,
give me a hint. Maybe replacing the default message handler with a custom
one would work good enough for
10us latency, that would probably be enough.
