Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Chinese to Quadrature conversion

I was just thinking that if you had the knee and the quill encoded, and feed
the two inputs into a program, you could result in a single reading which
would always be a correct distance between the two, irrespective if you move
the knee or the quill.
