G3 Commands for full circle #42

Open ameennihad opened 6 years ago

ameennihad commented 6 years ago

The following fix is causing an issue with TinyG: https://github.com/chilipeppr/widget-eagle/pull/38

Apparently, G3 commands for full circle are not interpreted correctly by TinyG if there are XY values in the command, here is an example: G3 X10.64 Y18.93 I0.5000 <- current code after above fix G3 I0.5000 <- Previous code before fix

I totally forgot how G3/G4 commands work, I need to do some reading to find a solution.

Apparently, not all controllers handle those commands the same way! Is it better to switch back to G1 and breaking the path to multiple segments?

Temporarily fixed in PL #43 will look for better solution later.

You could break into half circles or 1/3rd circles too. Those seem to be interpreted in a more consistent way out there. And, of course, G1 moves are what I always went with because I thought they were brainless, but they do sure bloat the Gcode.

I thought about breaking into half circles too, most probably that will be the better solutions.
