Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CNC Test File

Hi Allan:

Actually, the credit belongs to those guru's at NIST. I took apart the
EMC software to understand the theory of how they did their look ahead and
rewrote it to accomadate the way I get around windows limitations on
real-time. I also wrote algorithms to Asyncronously pulse each axis when
required with a granularity of 122uS and made several babysitting algorithms
to make sure flow is steady and even. The result is amazing. I only have a
few test reports in, but the general comment is "WOW" from the people using
it. Never having used EMC or the like, I never new the difference could be
that big. I have buffered lines of translation to 200 lines for lookahead
and velocity blended according to pulse count on a per axis basis. My only
concern is how much computing power a person might need. At present, I'm
buffering about 200 Blocks a second, but the Pulse engine transformer can't
even begin to keep up to that speed, so its a game of seeing just how many
machines like it, and how many don't. Time will tell..
