Re: Black Box Goals

Mariss,

First four?

So we have:
0) rapid linear interp (or non-interp to position)
1)Linear interp w/feedrate
2 and 3) arc/circle interp at feedrate
Do we get 4) delay, or pause?

How is plane selection for arcs/linear handled?
Homing to switches?
Will you have "gearing" for threading, or will this be a modification
of the linear interp?

Looking at the Centent unit, we will send setup parms to the b-box?
But these won't include SPI? And motor accel/decel parms, like the
centent unit?

Why are you calling this gcode in? It really isn't, or am I missing
something?

Thank you in advance.

P.S. This will be an impressive product.

Re: connectors, one other post re: dc jack A small "keeper" can be
molded(plastic), or bent(aluminum) to keep the power plugged in. And
I still don't like the db9's. they can be had with the 10p on D-board
conns easily enough, for those who want them. And my brain took a
holiday about db9 m-f cables; sorry.
(serial in, MB mounted db25 or 10p each axis out, and a dc jack for
power; that's the ticket IMO!)
