Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] getting started with CNCs

Jan,

GWBasic is interpreted. Are you able to handle multiple axis? How do you
intergrate the "Called assembler" stuff? Have you tried QuickBasic? It is
semi-compiled and runs a lot faster than GW. I did a lot of Basic stuff
years ago and "poked" machine codes for fast stuff. I always thought Basic
got a raw deal. You could do anything you could think of with Basic. Would
you elaborate on how you do G code.
