'already splitting on ID xx with cycle time 0.001'

I got this yesterday while doing a bit of trochoidal milling with many thousands of G1/G3 short segments. The milling itself was not affected; the part came out fine.



To be honest this happened on a fairly old RIP build of rellenbergs circular arc blend fork, so I don't expect support. But I am curious what this message means?

I think you might have to ask Robert.

I just grepped the linuxcnc-dev source tree and the machinekit source tree, both of which have his TP code in them and cannot find 'already splitting on ID'.

Must be something from his old code.

OK, I suppose it is/was some internal debug thing then. Most of it was milling a 5mm slot with a 4mm endmill, small overlap, high feed. Not exactly the perfect candidate for trochoidal milling on a machine without very fast axes, but it gives a silky smooth surface without the need for cooling/lubrication. The program definitely gave the TP code a good workout.

I think I just forget it happened and do a fresh build.
