Feedrate changes take effect only after a z-axis change, rather than immediately?! What a POS! On non-pc controls, feedrate changes take effect immediately. Is this a limitation due to Windows? There are some pc-based controls that don't use windows, and they are much more faithful to industry standards -- such as how feedrate should work, realtime performance to ensure accuracy, etc.
Feed rate changes take effect after a small buffer has been drained. To be expedient in the video, I interrupted the movement. Thanks for watching so closely.
Thank you for the complement, I had no intention of faithfully conforming to industrial standards. Industrial standards are based on using Teletype paper tape for program entry. When I began writing <b>SuperCam</b> controllers were rated on how may feet of Teletype paper tape could be stored in the controllers memory. To me, that seemed archaic.
With SuperCamXp you can use the multi-tasking features of Window Xp and Vista. While the machine is executing a tool path, you can do other things with the computer, like watch YouTube videos, browse the net, handle email, work with another CAD program etc.
There are other programs available that do faithfully conform to industrial standards. My approach is unique and best suited for rapid prototyping of a few parts. Industrial users have found my approach far more cost effective in that it eliminates the need for numeric control (NC) programs, and the staff to create them.
Having said that, I understand how my approach to machine control is not everyone's cup of tea.
Man that is awesome! Really great video! I do appreciate it very much so. Excellent work and narration. Superb!
