Re: List question

rtr@...
maybe I'm missing something, but integrating the movements of a couple of
axes is what Bresham's Algorithms in linear and circular motion is about.
It breaks down the motion into a lot of very small motions and steps the
control through these small motions. It never allows the axes to loose
synchronization by more than the resoplution of the machine, if you choose
to limit the small motions to that size.
