No comments on washer/dryers?  Gee...

And I have another puzzle:

My next door neighbor came down to see what I was doing, so I demoed that 
bit of code for him, but that didn't demo the vacuum cleaner controls I 
had added since he last saw it run.  So I added an M8 after the M3 that 
started the spindle, and an M9 after the M2 at the end of it.

And now it will not execute the program without a joint 2 following error 
at 500 RPM, let alone 1300 rpm's.  Take those 2 commands back out, works 
a treat.  The start spindle and flood (m8) is outside the while-endwhile 
that runs the loop so I haven't a clue whats going on.

Does anyone have a suggestion other than putting the M9 in front of the 
final M2?, but heck, the M2 SHOULD stop it all so the M9 is probably 
superfluous anyway.

Thanks all.

And I hope you all that celebrate Easter, enjoyed the day _and_ its 
meaning.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
