As for storing the value run-to-run... I am not sure how to do that. One possibility would be to add it to the persistent parameters that are stored in one of the files in the config directory (I am at work, so can't look at the actual files to see the name). This stores things like the coordinate system offsets, but will also store any other numbered parameter that you add to the list. The issue is linking that to a value visible in HAL. A simple bit of G-code can output it to an analogue output and read it back from an analogue input (see http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Mword ) but I am not sure how you would force that G-code to run at startup and shutdown. I suspect that others might have ideas though. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
