G-Code decison trees, goto and loop?

[Leo]

I will admit I always loved the opportunity to create the parametric programs.

I don't think Mach-3 is capable of it, other wise I would play with it more.

I am going to upgrade to Centroid Acorn this winter.
I am not sure if Acorn is capable or not,
It would be fun.

Thanks Steve and Leo,

That's sorta the plan, but menu driven with the 5 options. If possible!
Leo, there's an incredible thread on this forum, but 3-4 years old May 2019: viewtopic.php?p=232863#p232863
At the time of the thread, three controllers were discussed which could do logic controlled flow: UCCNC, Centroid Acorn and WinCNC.
There was comment about Arduino.

Still researching....

I went thru a similar discussion as well.

I currently have Mach3, but I have several issues with it. Runs fine and I have done a lot with it. I just have some issues I need to resolve and I am sure the upgrade to Centroid Acorn will fit the bill.

I already bought the package, but it's all in a box sitting in the cabinet waiting on a lull in shop activities.

Parametric programming is not high in my list of priorities, but it is ful to play with.
