08:11 PM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> In any real system FP errors are not an issue because the command value doesn't accumulate. It is fixed point from the encoder. There is nothing to accumulate error in. There is a cycle to cycle error but that is fine. It will average out.
08:23 PM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> my cnc lathe is woefully unused. it is a centroid acorn board (is that machinekit?) and I hate the UI
08:23 PM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> I use my cnc lathe as a glorified manual lathe 99% of the time.
08:23 PM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> honestly the ELS works so good I never use the cnc lathe
08:23 PM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> but I think i'd use it more if I can get remora or linuxcnc-rio on there.
08:23 PM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> tapers mostly
08:23 PM lcnc-relay: <zincboy_ca_on> How does your ELS sync to the spindle index? So that it starts in the same place every time.
08:23 PM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> it sets spindle zero when it boots... I have some stubbs to be able to move it for multistart threading etc, but I've not needed to do it
08:23 PM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> i'm wasting my little esp by using a 64bit index on the spindle
08:23 PM lcnc-relay: <schoch_> so it should be able to run for a year or so before overflowing
