M67 Problem

Every M68 command stops motors, but I need continuous motion with analog output control.
May be something ideas?
I try to use free axis as analog signal (for example B axis). I changes value in digital output with commands M62\M63. In moments, when value changes I takes coordinate of axis B.
This is work. Motors moves without stops, but speed is less that I wrote in G code.

All moves on the same line will be coordinated (all arrive at the end point at the same time) so all will slow to slowest axis in the move.

I want to change laser power during his movement. Value of power need take from G code file. Any ideas?

How are you doing with this?

I have raised a bug report on M67 not working, and I have had a look at the source code.
I actually think that I could fix it, if you are prepared to patch and recompile EMC2?

And, thanks to Pavel (and not to me) M67 now works in the 2.5 branch. This will be released as an upgrade soon, but if you can't wait then you should be able to get the new version as a package (no need to compile) from the buildbot tomorrow. (it builds a new version every night, I believe)

buildbot.linuxcnc.org

I just checked, and it missed the current build, so leave it a couple of days.

There is a trial release of EMC2 2.5, but I don't know where to find it (my work web-access blocks buildbot.linuxcnc as malware!)

I would say just pull the 2.5 from buildbot, it is very nearly a production release now, and the M67 patch is in there.
