I got this sorted, by using a g1 move at a higher speed than the axis speed limit. This particular mill is a software stepper, and only 28 volts on the motors, so its moving at about paint dry speeds. Then I think I have the subroutine_path sorted as there's now a lot more in the ncam menu's, so I thought I'd play a bit by trying to change my i/o connector holes to a double flatted circle to better fit the GS16-5 connectors. Nope, ncam can't do it without turning the circle into 4 segments and trying to align so it was a circle but with 2 flat sides. Then I inspected the connector and found the black contact insert was randomly aligned with the flats on the mounting shank, and I wasn't about to try and number them and rotate the double flat patterns individually to orient them all alike. There is neat, and obsessive compulsive neat. Never been accused of the latter, so why start now... I also looked around in the ncam menu's w/o finding a dsub pattern, so I am stuck with the somewhat smaller radius corners a .125 mill will carve just driving it in straight lines. They'll fit good enough for the girls I go with, although I'll cut a test panel to fine tune the locations of the two db25 cutouts before I cut the real one. Checking my emails, I won't see the line cord glands before Wednesday so I'm sitting here bored out of my skull, nothing to do except cook and get fat. The wait is because the mounting shank diameter is unk, said to be 1/2"/15.2mm, which is nominally a 1/8" tolerance. I sent the seller a msg this morning asking for clarification, but haven't heard back yet. Bottom line on ncam is that I'll probably comment it out for real use, as its making the latency worse. I'm seeing a more realtime errors in the terminal I launch "linuxcnc -l" from. I'd feel better if I ever find my missing round tuit and put a 5i25 in that 'puter. Its an intel D525mW board, bare bone stock. 'twas the wonder board back in the day though. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
