Math Round / Ceiling / Floor

Post by suumas » Sat Dec 05, 2020 5:17 pm

Is there a way to round up/down/off floating point numbers into an integer or some specific level of precision within G code? E.g. #1 = [ceil[0.875 / 0.25]]

I ultimately want to control a loop and while I could manage with an iterator and conditional check, it would be much simpler and more useful everywhere to do the math in advance. I'm using v4.34, btw.

Hi suumas,

FUP, FIX, and ROUND are supported

Code: Select all

#1 = FUP[1.02]  (ceil result 2)
#2 = FIX[1.02]  (floor result 1)
#3 = ROUND[1.5] (round up/down result 2)

Thanks for the prompt reply!!

I'm searching through the help but I can't find those functions. Where can I find a complete list of all such functions?

Hi suumas,

The GCode Interpreter is based on the public domain NIST RS274NGC Interpreter you can download a manual here. Section 3.3.2.3 describes expressions.

Or you can look at the source code :) See execute_unary() in \GCodeInterpreter\rs274ngc.cpp also add your own.
