hi,

i have found this solution but i miss the command to run the engine. I should say that my tool is a milling, which is on an engine. and the milling can move in x,y, and z direction.

      function move = Goel_position (x, y, z)

        Vx = 0.036; %speed cm/s 
        Vy = 0.036; 
        Vz = 0.036;
        X_runTime = (x - Xtsp)/ Vx; % Xtsp first position
        Y_runTime = (y - Ytsp)/ Vy;
        Z_runTime = (z - Ztsp)/ Vz;
        while(X_runTime)

        end
       while(Y_runTime)

       end
        while(Z_runTime)

        end
    end

i wanna that the engine move while the runtime is true. how can i do it?

I've answered in the other forum (just for information of other readers):

We cannot know or guess how the tool is connected to your computer. This is a detail you have to find out at first.

The WHILE loops look strange: WHILE loops run as long as a condition is TRUE. But in the posted code, the condition is a constant time, which will not change it's state from TRUE to FALSE magically.

Please read the help text of while:

And most of all you need any clear instructions about how the tool can be controlled. Ask your teacher, professor or read the manuals. But the forums cannot help you in this point.
