9 years ago Windell - that seems very straightforward. I'll try to get it in this weekend. Do you have a way of immediately testing that the new command is working properly?

Feature request: Add a new command, that simplifies use of the EBB in machines that have mixed-axis geometry, such as H-Bot http://www.multimechatronics.com/build_a_h-bot.php and CoreXY http://corexy.com.
In machines with these and similar geometries, the rotation of a single stepper motor causes a translation of the machine's end effector in a direction diagonal to the machine's cartesian axes — i.e., in the ± (X
- Y) or ± (X - Y) directions. This is a well-understood type system, and is usable as-is with the EBB. However there are certain circumstances, such as during initial setup and test, where it is convenient to be able to issue an EBB command to move the machine directly alone its cartesian axes.
I would propose to add the following command to the EBB command set http://www.schmalzhaus.com/EBB/EBBCommands.html: "XM,

I would propose to add the following command to the EBB command set:
"XM,<move_duration>,<axisA>,<axisB><CR>"Executing this command would be equivalent to executing:
"SM,<move_duration>,<axis1>,<axis2><CR>", where<axis1> = <axisA> + <axisB>and<axis2> = <axisA> - <axisB>@EmbeddedMan, I have assumed that this is straightforward, and could be done by (insert hand-waving here) having the XM command internally call the SM command.
