Friend of mine and I have had an email discussion going over the last few days about movement precision, accuracy and resolution.
Lets say there are three different G Code files, A, B and C. In file A, the coordinates are such: X x.x Y x.x In file B, the coordinates are such: X x.xx Y x.xx In file C, the coordinates are such: X x.xxx Y x.xxx For simplicity's sake, no Z axis and the units are inches. Using file A for example, with the coordinates only given with 0.1" precision, what exactly does the controller do? Does it actually work to 0.1" precision or does it work to moreprecision, vis-a-vis when making moves? Is file C, with precision to three decimal places the standard precision in controllers, or do we just use three decimal places in the G Code because it's good enough for gummint workand the controller can actually make more precise moves (dependent of course on the machine, the mechanics and the electronics)?
