Grotius you're a madlad

I'm pretty sure you can just send this to a university and they'll send you back a math degree diploma

I've been away from the game for quite a while as I was finishing school myself, but I'll put this to work in the near future

thanks so much! I only bought two of the eventual 5 axis, which are Lichuan OL3-E57H open loop stepper drivers. I have an xml file from the manufacturer and they are supposed to be CIA402 compliant, but I don't yet know how to set this up.

Even while the carousel component is running, it is impossible to stop the process (in MDI mode, there is a cross in the lower right corner), only the program can be completely turned off. Even if an error occurs, for example, the tool search time has expired.

Okay good deal, glad you got it working.

If you list your equipment that you are using, one of us will help you with the XML.  I will try to check back at some point to make sure someone or myself helps you get it going.  I apologize if I don't get back really soon, just overloaded with work and have very little free time.

Thanks,
Robert

@Julian,

Hal blend speed is a special feature, Mr. Lcvette requested this feature a while ago.
Blend speed can be used to tune a machine to it's inertia limits.

The blend is the fillet (rounding) between 2 trimmed (shortened) gcode lines (segments). Given the G64 P[..] value.
The blend speed is a factor value "0-1".
The blend speed is used to tell the planner how to behave at the blends, focussing on blend speed.
Curvature is the ammount off roundness of a arc or circle. It is related to the radius.
Based on curvature -> radius, the blend speed is calculated by mathematics.

-> hal_blend_speed
minimal value : 0.0
maximal value : 1.0

Example :
hal_blend_speed 0.0 = use blend speed based on curvature only. (safest way of running the machine, lowest output speed)
hal_blend_speed 0.5 = use 50% speed based on curvature, use 50% speed based on gcode feed.
hal_blend_speed 1.0 = use gcode feed only. (can become risky, machine may run beyond inertia limits, highest output speed)

On youtube there is a video, where you can see the difference at runtime on a real cnc machine.
Later on in the video the hal_blend_speed is set to 1.0 at time 5:51
video link

Then you can for example tune your machine to a hal_blend_speed : 0.85
This then you can edit in the source code and recompile. Then it becomes a startup value.
fill in blend speed here.
