WISH : make .src smaller by removing external axis values

[Xylotica]

Hi Johannes,

I started reading the KRL documentation after three years of owning Wall-E :)
I realize that the .src generated by KUKA|prc uses a "E6POS" data type to define the trajectories, and this includes 4 values for external axis.
Since I have no external axis, it would make the files much smaller if I could toggle an option to use just a "POS" data type with no external axis values.
Specially for milling, this would allow me to generate longer tool paths...

Would you consider including such an option in the main component ?

Cheers,

Hello,

In the Settings window under Advanced/Code you can tick the box "Reduce Fiilesize" which does exactly that.
However, I haven't ever been able to conclusively verify that it makes a difference - of course the files get smaller, but there is no real way to check its actual memory footprint once it's on the robot (that I know of).
Chances are good that every E6POS takes the same amount of memory, to be honest.

Best,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,

This should be easy to test : If I can cram in more waypoints for a given milling, then it works.
I'll come back to you when I have the occasion to test that out.

Cheers,
