Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: stable EMC version?

No not actual run away. The problem that had me diving for e-stop is related
to offsets. In the balsa cutting I do I use a lot of G92 offsets (or what I
think is the same by right clicking on the coordinates in manual mode and
setting the coordinate value). What was happening is that I would set the
coordinate to what I want and then when I would run the program it would
decided that the current displayed 0 (that I had just set) was really not
zero at all. With my first move being a rapid to 0 I would have the blade
diving for the table at full tilt. Not a pretty sight. A couple times of
that I was rapidly back to the old build. There were also a number of small
bugs particularly with steppermod.o. I use steppermod.o because I am running
G320 drives and they need a high pulse rate and don't care about the pulse
pacing.

The main reason I was interested in the BDI was for the 4 axis capability.
Unfortunately that also has a major bug that causes follow errors in many
conditions making it less that production ready.
