G95 feed per revolution

How does it work in mach4?

I have no idea unfortunately, it may be the same slow or a bit faster.
There can't be a miracle, because there has to be a loop which handles the signal. The loop can be faster or slower, but it will be never realtime.
The only way to make this realtime is if the motion controller calculates the path or if it has a way to modify the precalculated data, but it is probably not even possible, because it would shift the time slices of the precalculated data which would cause a problem and probably that can't even be resolved.

In Mach4 IIRC it is pushed off to teh controller to handle so chances are good no M4 controller handles it.

If the controller handles it then there is no need for Mach4, because then the motion controller plans the motion.
So, I doubt that if someone handles this in the motion controller then they will implement into Mach4, because then they will just have to make a simple user interface and they are good without mach4.

To do a true G95 you must sync the axis motion with spindle rotations in real time.

I did not think that UCCNC ran motion functions in real time ??

As I understand it the only real time functions are controlled by teh motion controller itself. In G95 mode I can raise or lower teh Spindle speed and teh axis motion stays in perfect sync to rotations.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

No, I don't think it can be done. It is not done in realtime in mach3 and in mach4 too.
But there is no such thing as "realtime" though since electrons need time to flow. Even light needs time to travel.
And so because you cannot measure rotational speed in zero time and you cannot transmit that data in zero time it is impossible to make it realtime.

An attempt at it is better than no attempt at doing it at all.

Mach3 should be the base line of achievement / performance, no?

[cncdrive]

As I wrote we can probably make it as good or maybe a bit better than in mach3, but we can't do it totally realtime.

AH NO, do not use mach3 as a baseline because in many ways G95 does not work in Mach3. It did work from commanded rpm but NOT from true rpm as measured from teh rotating spindle.

IF you need baselines look to the top line commercial controllers.
