Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC interpreter was Re: BoBCad Question

Alan:

Yes I think your right, having never used subroutines, I assumed
incorrectly that it was the same as a canned cycle.Bottom line is,
emc cannot do subroutines in the same way, yet the EMC code seems to be
sayng that a G-Code statement can start the process of buffering blocks of
commands for later execution. This would be a subroutine. I'm gonna haveta
take a closer look at the emc code again.
