Parametric Programming - Math - Ceiling Function

[Robertspark]

Would it be possible to add the Ceiling() math function to the parametric programming list of math functions please?

floor is already listed so ceiling would be useful (for a square pattern for example to round up)

thanks as always

Bump Please

.... looks like "floor" does not work (dispite being in the manual)

Code: Select all

#6 = floor [3.6]

should equal 3

I would not hold my breath for any updates.
Seems all development has stalled with UCCNC. Last release being 2018!

I know its been a difficult year for everyone, but it would be nice to be kept up to date a little.

I am obviously trying to stretch uccnc to more than its capable of as I am again fiddling with my lathe and turning, and trying to put some basic parametric macros together.

I keep dabbling with linuxcnc but hate it, (more time under the bonnet than driving the cnc) but it's probably best for this sort of application

Hi Robert , For a turn application you may want to try PathPilot(linuxCNC) They are very active in developement and updates. The GGUI is also very nice to work with.

We moved to PathPilot long ago and never looked back.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

thanks Terry I've bought the usb a couple of days ago and am waiting for it to be shipped from tormach.

I have a 7i76E that is not being used....

I have been lurking again on linuxcnc form and was looking at your pp posts and trying to fathom the pp install / setup.

i really have no excuse not to dedicate some time to it.

so I may catch you on the other side

The easy way is to build your lathe with the same setup as they use. That way it is painless . To load PathPilot you buy the install stick boot it up on teh PC and it installs itself including the Linux portion. Once you have loaded it up as they use it then THEY doo all the hard work on upgrades. All you have to do is push teh upgrade button.

Now if you just want to do your own thing then it gets a bit tricky working with PathPilot as there is ZERO internal PathPilot documentation. PathPilot is about 50% linuxcnc and 50% their OWN coding.

Good Luck and let me know if I can be of help to you.
