Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] I'm curious

Jon:

It is my hope to have the command stream separated out, so in other words
when a command to do a line is about to be changed into pulses or a command
to the G100, it will be called from a blank DLL which will just have a
redirection back to the main application. If it works that way, then it
woudl be possible for any developer to take that command and send it
serially, or do whatever is necessary to get that command to his hardware. I
never promise aything for fear of getting too much into vapourware, but its
my thought that it would allow for a wider possibility in usage of "strange"
devices. By strnage, I mean only that Mach3 doesnt know about them.
Challenges woudl remain in terms of syncronization of various
internal variables, but I'll see what I can do.. The good thing about the
next iteration is that it will not load a printer port driver at all,
therefore it shoudl run on almost any system..


Thanks,
