Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] another EMC Glitch?

Marcus, my controller is my hand turning the spindle
switch back on! I will endeavor to always do that.

Actually I tried a post with a spindle off before M00
and a spindle on after. EMC didn't like that and terminated
the g-code program. Understanding considering I don't have it
hooked up to the STG interface. I have all the hardware there...
I would just need to run a TTL level wire. I have the distinct feeling
this function is not fully implemented in EMC. I would love to have
someone tell me i'm wrong.

I fully understand about how you came to know that. The G92
bug let the spindle come right down on a piece of redwood.
You know, I go out and split oak firewood for the following
winter with a 10 lb maul in my spare time. I don't know why
I bother... the 2500 lb spindle force could do it easily.

Hmmm another use for my machine.... nah first I need
to write the theraputic massage program for it. I could
do 3 or 4 people at once! Um... I better get that force
sensor project going first though. I would hate to squish
someone's head like a grape....
