PathPilot V2 source code

Use qtdragon or probe basic (says he Facetiously)

I am not really looking for the pathpilot UI.
The Tormach version has look ahead applied on all 9 axes (as opposed to only XYZ for vanilla linuxcnc v2.9).
Also I wanted to see if they have applied the dpll patch needed to operate Ethercat drives with lower jitter ( github.com/sittner/linuxcnc-ethercat/blo...-functions-2.8.patch ). My conclusion on this front is that they have not.
Further they sent over non-compilable code - there is a bunch of uncommented FIXMEs and TODOs littered over the code and it does not even compile.
So Tormach is definitely not playing by the rules of GPLv2.
And it uses python2 (and python3 in some places) to the point that it is not compilable on Bookworm. Neither it is compilable on Stretch.

Maybe a more-fun project would be to make the 9-axis blending work with LinuxCNC.

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/Tormach_9_axis

This was just an experiment to see what happens if you replace the LinuxCNC tp folder with the Tormach one.

I haven't even bothered trying to compile it, the point is to examine all the points of difference by looking at the diff:

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/pull/3524

This is still not the build with the jerk limiting right?

It's not, but I think a good step 1 is to add the 9 axis blending, and then step 2 would be to look at those changes. It would probably be easier to implement that way.

Earlier in this thread you said you got 2.9 to compile. I am wondering a few things:
1. What steps you took to get that to work?
2. What version are you working with currently?
3. I wonder what the last version that would compile would be assuming you did get v2.9 to work.

The 9 axis look ahead should be in v2.9, so if you can make that compile, then it might be a start, and worth doing something like Andy did to see what all is different and go from there?

Just thinking out loud.
