    lol. no. i work in sample processing. so the bot (denso mostly), while running mostly via java (i wish it wasnt but its before my arrival) and modbus comms, also uses mv to determine orientation which informs the movement. no g code.

    i never used g code. i’m old. grew up with dad running bridgports manually.

      Really cool to hear and my mistake, I am used to people pretending to be engineers far more often than being engineers, If I can ask, what s the denso for?

      Also Bridgeports are dope, I loved to machine steel at the labs in school, but Im a bit younger haha, the bridgeports were 75yo, tried to tear my arms off because who needs machine security? and my profs would tell me to stick to them “because you ll be a sissy if you spend all your time on the rinky dink newer chinese mills”
