In recent tests, I connect to a running LinuxCNC 2.5.3 process (Axis 2.5.3 gui) with linuxcncrsh and nc. If I open an ngc file using linuxcncrsh commands like: ... set mode auto set open file.ngc ... then the running Axis process shows that a new file has been loaded by a change in its banner, but the tool path plot does not update, nor does the displayed g-code.
If you then Run the gcode in Axis, the path (corresponding to the new file) will be drawn superimposed on the previous file's plot. The Axis code display toggles ahead through the previous code while the live plot is doing something different. So its a mess. Axis is somewhat aware of the new open file, but is not initializing as it does, when a file is loaded using its own File Open button. This is no big deal, but I guess I am posting this in case the highly paid Axis team are sitting around drinking coffee and wondering what to work on next. Why you ask, well I am testing having Mathematica talk to linuxcncrsh - with Axis running on the remote operator workstation, and Mathematica acting as some sort of supreme being (generating the GCode and watching the build, but leaving the real time stuff to LinuxCNC). Retired people have far too much time on their hands... PS: three of my posts to the list have vanished without a trace in the last week, so am crossing my fingers that this gets through.
