Is there any way to add another tab that has parameters I can set that my gcodes can pull from. Does not need to be fancy just a list of say #0-30. I cut a ton of square sheets out of larger sheets. The size I cut changes depending on what the customer wants. I was planning on writing a program that has its x & y as numbered parameters that auto compute new locations as it runs. So I can enter say 6" long (in Y) and 1.5" wide (in the X) with .25 between and I want 30 of them. It would then start and zero the program where my torch is currently, do a square and move to the next position. I have done macro programming like this before but it was on a fanuc control and I could access the variable page.I was planning on moding the parameters at the beginning of the gcode but a tab would be much nicer to use.

JTK, if you read up on the macros in Gmocappy docs, you may be able to achieve this using the macro buttons. I think only 10 macros display but it is possible to enter variables.

I have pushed an update that changes the THC active LED to a three color LED.
Green indicates that THC is enabled but not active.
Yellow indicates that THC is enabled and active.
Grey indicates THC is disabled.

Cheers, Phill

The recent change to 2.9 has broken reverse-run :(

At this stage the repo will be stuck at 2.8 as at a few days ago.

I will attempt to fix the conflicts but don't hold your breath as there were quite a few changes to the trajectory planner...

Cheers, Phill.
