This has been bugging me awhile.
Why does linuxcnc force three modes?
I understand it's a hold over from industrial machines.
For my Okuma, manual functions were actually done
outside the computer's control using relays and such.
What is the actually programical distinction needed in
linuxcnc's case.
As a GUI builder, it's really is a pain in the ass to trick
linuxcnc to do MDI commands in manual mode and
I see no reason for it.
To set the origin, index the tool, and change the user system
require MDI mode.
I could see a distinction between issuing commands that do
one thing no matter what and a command that could be different
depending what came before it.
So this sounds like manual and 'continuous' (MDI and AUTO being continuous)
Even if we actually did need the three modes, I think we should
put some thought into some of the commands that require MDI but
are regularly used in manual such as the three I mentioned.
Thoughts?
