New pin motion.base-feedrate in master branch

Chris Morley has just released a new feature to master branch that creates a new hal pin
This pin is set by the F code sent in your Gcode so if Plasmac were to use this pin, there would be no need to pass the feedrate back to Plasmac with:
F#<_hal[plasmac.cut-feed-rate]>

I've tested this as working here this morning. For more info type man motion at the command prompt or consult the motion docs for master branch.

It just gets better and better for plasma cutting!

So Phil, time for an upgrade!

And great work Chris!

It's not in master yet Rod ..that's a testing branch.
This does what you guys need though yes?
Do you use reverse run - I haven't tested it with reverse run.

If it does as advertised then YES.

Reverse run is used manually for error recovery so for plasma users it would not be a major concern if velocity was reported wrongly during reverse run

Thanks again Chris

Ooops sorry, I jumped the gun. I'm compiling Chris's test branch now...

Tested and working on the Spaceship!

The only consideration is that it shows exactly what the F command is. (in my case 1425 mm/min)
Should it show feedrate per second to be consistent with all the other velocities? (eg. 1425/60 = 23.75)
How does Phill use it in Plasmac?

Rod,

Can you explain exactly what this means for the uneducated? Is it just a cleaner way to do the same thing Phil has done?

Also what exactly is state tags again?
