    Update Mike's Free Interface for Emco Compact 5 CNC

    Hello to all,

    well all, just the owners of non retrofitted Emco C5CNC machines.

    If you are like me still using the original Emco controller,you could either be clever or download the newest version of Mike's Free Interface.

    I am starting to understand how the program works, so now I can update the program as I like.

    If you have any ideas, let me know (or just wait for me to work through my todo list)

    Anyway, 1.2.1 is now ready for downloading.

    Just to let you know, update 1.2.2 is on the site for downloading.

    Thanks to some input of users, V1.2.3 is getting close to finish now.
    If you wish, you also may put any feedback or requests on the forum of
    www.mikesfreeinterface.com

    Mikes Free Interface

    Now V1.2.3 is ready. It has automatic M99 calculation, at the moment for just one quadrant at a time . Next step would be to have it calculating more than one quadrant and to allow the desired angle as an input.

    The idea is that when defining a partial arc, you must know start and end of the
    arc, and either center coordinates or radius or angle.

    While Center Coordinates being the standard Emco way, MFI now offers also M99R, which is the radius method. In the future M99A (for Angle) method could be a useful addition.

    I also added some other features too.

    Henk
