RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Keyboard Typematic rate

Hi, Alan:

|I think I posted some Gcode "grouping" info in response to someone's
|questions a little while ago on this list, or CCED. Might help,
|although if you're reading NIST, you should have the info. It did take
|me a few tries to get the groups right, 'tho.

With Pascal, you simply define a set of integers (0..255) and then declare a
constant for each of the groups. You set this constant to the G-Codes that
reside in the group. Then it's a simple "if" statement (if GCode in Group1
then....) to determine the membership. Where I think that I'll have a little
problem is to implement the rule that says that you can't have an element of
one group if you have a couple of other G-Codes of another group.

I've also got to think about where I'll stick the extra G7x codes that
Dave's defined. I'll probably put them in the same group as his G8x codes,
since they seem to do similar actions.

|And as to old DOS; well, I still use them at work for our embedded
|product. And the website that was just posted, "Geezer"! Yeah, I guess
|that says it!

I liked Geezer as well. It describes us retired flatulants quite well! :)
