Basket Weave Pattern
Purpose
This program was developed to support experiments with a curvilinear slide. It is quite general. It moves the cutter over, retracts it, returns and then does it again. It is structured with variables to be easily reconfigured.

How it Works
I developed this using Claude AI to control my experiments with a curvilinear pattern. Variables at the head of the file make it easy to reconfigure. Starting from home, the cutter stays in place (dwells) for a full rotation, then we move along the Z axis to the end (z_stroke) where we stay in place (dwell) for a full rotation. Upon reaching the end we retract on the X axis. If n_pass is more than one we return to the start, reengage the X axis more deeply, and do it again.
Note that z_stroke can be negative to move right to left. For curvilinear work it is advantageous to use a higher sp0_rpm (maybe 3 or 4) and a very slow movement on the Z axis. Approach Options
