Re: G-code in a macro:Needs more useful examples and docs

Macro's were originally designed so I could reuse code, but they didn't

Re: Rutex drive hook up
Robert,
To get your drive going, don't worry about Stepper/spi or Err/Dout -
these are used when you're trying to interface it to a PC for changing
parameters using the test software. You should

About the ground again. The step and direction are from the computer. The

Re: macros.
Would and could macros contain what may better be called a tool kit
similar to what the fellow who has GenGcode group is developing. If
so I feel that would be worthwhile.

That sounds great, when do you think I will be able to tune the rutex

It might be faster than me getting an old windows computer together.

Hi Art - can you also look at spindle & coolant toggles - sometimes
