[Emc-developers] INI parameters - Proposed changes.

[Paul <pau...@te...>]

Hi Folks

In light of recent discussions at NAMES, I've been looking over some of the 
sources with a view to cleaning them up. Two minor changes that would help 
would be the merging of STG_BASE_ADDRESS and PARPORT_IO_ADDRESS into one 
variable IO_BASE_ADDRESS to be used in both the EMCMOT and EMCIO sections. 
This would enable new modules to be written using a generic base address 
parameter and perhaps make the ini file a little easier to read.

A more radical proposal is to split the stepper functions from emcmot.c, 
emcstepmot.c, and emcsegmot.c in to separate sources and have just one source 
for motion control. This I believe, will make debugging and future changes 
much easier - Already spotted one error where a routine has been added to two 
of the emc*mot.c but only one will accept a parameter being passed.

If there are no major objections, I will endeavour to make the changes over 
the next week or so.

Regards, Paul.
