Leslie, all good points.
The issue with number 2 is that it partially works. The title bar
changes the name of the script but nothing else refreshes. This seems to
me to be more of a bug since Axis knows the script changed and, in fact,
knows the name of the new script.
I won't need Axis once the machine is fully boxed up and stuck in a
coffee table and runs headless. For debugging and moving things around
Axis has been fantastic.
In terms of connection problems I'm hoping this doesn't become a problem
when the machine goes headless.
Too many things to do is a blessing (until I need help getting the
program working!)
Also, I've been writing quite a bit of python code to do all sorts of
fun things -
Control the table using a web interface
Command line arguments for truetype-tracer (with special sorting
for non-z-axis machines)
Chain class that works with chains of points (polylines) that
converts to g-code
Pattern classes - spiral, sun, maze, text, lissajous,
spirograph, fractals all optimized for non-z-axis machines
Thanks - Mike

That is to be expected. emcrsh and Axis are independent applications and
know nothing about each other. The only common factor is that they are
both talking to the same realtime code. If you load a file in Axis then
load a different one in emcrsh then press run in Axis, the last file
loaded will be the one that runs, though Axis will display the original
file.
Do you actually need Axis? Emcrsh will run quite happily on it's own.

I've had this occasionally, especially if I have managed to kill emcrsh
for some reason. I never got to the bottom of it. Unfortunately that
project is on hold for the time being. Too many other things to do :-(
