Repeat loop

Hi
Does the statement "repeat [5]" count from 0 to 5 or from 1 to 5?

It does 5 iterations.

Whether it effectively does

for(x=0; x < 5; x++)

or

for(x=1; x <= 5; x++)

I don't know.
I would guess the former, as it is far more standard.

regards

I was actually wondering if it did 5 or 6 repeats.

It should do 5

linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/o-code.html#sec:repeat

Put a (debug, "comment") inside the example loop and see how many times it prints

I don't actually use it, it never used to exist and I just got used to using a parameter as a counter and incrementing it, so tend to do that automatically.

I don't think there is any option to use it in do{}while() fashion and effectively increase the number of loops by one.

regards

Hey, does anyone know if the number of repeats remaining is a readable parameter?

Not that I'm aware. But you could of course implement a counter using your own parameter value.

Yeah, I just wanted to read the value of "L" it would be great if I could display it in a pyvcp panel. This is on a barfeed machine.
