Run time calculation in g-code program properties

LOL, at least I can find it...

Dunno if this line is a clue to getting the acceleration values

mf = vars.max_speed.get()

But if they are different... that would get complicated pretty fast.

HI
Is there any progress in the development of a more accurate time calculation?

Tom

To my knowledge no one is working on this as accurate time calculations can be arrived at by running a sim with the exact same configuration as the machine. Of course your welcome to work on it.

The time component will give you the run time when you run a file.

Can I see run time calculation value in the Axis GUI?
If not, is it possible to create Python Virtual Control Panel widget to show this value?
Thanks.

If you want a run timer that is easily done with a VCP. A run time estimator would be difficult and there is already one built into Axis.

There are example configurations look up the man for time.9 it has example pyvcp code.

@Kostas,

Very interesting.

Problem can be : no existing encoder or PWM blocks in the HAL.
I think seperate program timer solves the problem. But can also be calculated in program left time in ngc section i think.

It's a problem they know before on IRC : wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SimpleCycleTimer
