    X comand question

    Hello!

    I have got ball screw 5mm/rev pitch. Encoders 2500CPR.
    Its scale 2000

    Now ,my question is how to write commands for X axis in diameter and not radius?

    Should i change scale or does it exist any other G code and char for this?

    Thank you

    Marko

    I assume you're talking about a lathe? Lathe support is pretty new to emc2. You can only program in radius mode. (on the axis display there is a diameter readout.)

    Patches are welcome for adding diameter gcode programming.
