Hi, I am programming a 2 axis CNC for 1st time and have stumbled across an issue. I have a known distance between 2 points on a curve and the radius of the curve is known. I need to plot some points ( X and Y Axis) between these 2 points in order to make it more accurate. How can I do this? Many thanks!
Assuming the center of your arc is located at [X, Y] = [0, 0] and the radius is R, then a point on the curve would be located at [x, y] = [R*cos(θ), R*sin(θ)] where θ is the angle of the radius line which runs through the point. Does that help?

Isn't this the mathematics section? Reminds me of an old joke. A 53 year old man finds a bottle on the beach. He rubs the bottle, and a genie pops out. The genie offers to grant the man one wish. The man wishes that his wife at home was 30 years younger than himself. The genie snaps his fingers, and the man is instantly 83 years old.
