That's not fair play Bill.
True. Synthesist minds do not "play fair". Not that
patient.
The answer I - still YET- hope to hear is:
"There has to be a better way, and I think I have identified it."
Further, it has nought to do with the gearing. A challenge was in that.
A bright mind, and proven so...
I am handicapped. Essentially all of the people I know personally from India are expats,
genius-level IQ's or near-as-dammit, and dollar millionaires more than once over.
That is not the whole country. It is simply a byproduct of where they - and I - worked or met.
What I expect to see is that the REAL problem is that an unpredictable "player" makes code portability more difficult than it should be. I need a "polarity bit" fed-back.
Ideally, the very installation of the tooling would be able to convey information to the host as to its 'gender' (and more), such that the
human would not need to change code.
The "code" would have inventoried the tooling's characteristics and done it for him.
This is not new in the world. It is probably not even new to CNC Machine Tools.
If I needed "four hours" for anything it would simply be to go find out who it is that has already been shipping that solution, and not just since last week - but for many years already.
You and/or Sinha should...
already know about such solutions.
Synthesists being lazy bastards, I can now save the "four hours" and expect the two of you - and others - to tell us what worked and did not work on those existing systems, and what it is that needs to be improved.
Which part of the 10EE use's live tools?
TS ram turret or cross slide would be the best candidates, Phil.
If I had NEED of it, I'd send a drawing and a substantial check to Chad (Ox) and they would be a reality in short order. Clever guy and proven so, and I am lazy.
There's a lot of that going around, BTW... Clever. Inventive. Creative.
Not limited to any one country or ethnicity, either.
Never was. Never will be.
Why.. would you believe it? We even have quite a few
devilishly ingenious folks wandering about in ...of all places ...Australia!
Met a few of 'em have yah?
Go look in the mirror yah old curmudgeon. Before you forget who it is as is lookin' back atcha. DAMHIKT.
