The reason for the restart of the spindle was to then be able to
restart at any line in the program.

You will need to add:
loadrt toggle count=1
loadrt not count=1
addf toggle,0 servo-thread
addf not.0 servo-thread
if the 'toggle' component and the 'not' component are the first and
only ones you are using and you have a thread called 'servo-thread'
then these exact commands will work. Otherwise you will have to modify
these commands for your configuration.
ie. if you have a
loadrt not count=1
addf not.0 servo-thread
in your config files to be able to add another 'not' component you
will need to change the lines to look like this
loadrt not count=2
addf not.1 servo-thread
If you are not using a servo-thread you will need to substitute a
different thread for the 'servo-thread'.
You will need to add this to your ?.xml file for pyvcp
('courier_bold',25)
"Spindle"
"spindle"
You will need to at this to your postgui.hal file
net spindle pyvcp.spindle halui.program.pause toggle.0.in
net spinON toggle.0.out halui.spindle.stop not.0.in
net spinOff not.0.out halui.spindle.start
If you had to change the loadrt and the addf commands you will need
to change the toggle.0 and/or the not.0 to match what you added.
This will allow you to restart at any point in the program:
highlight the line you want to start from
from the drop down under the 'machine' heading - click on 'set next line'
push the step button - this is the arrow pointing right along the top
of the axis gui
push the button under the pyvcp spindle - you may need to push this
button twice - the spindle will start
start your program using the buttons across the top of the axis gui.
To stop the program and spindle at any time:
push the pyvcp spindle button - this will pause the program and stop the spindle
push the pyvcp spindle button - again - this will start the spindle
push the pause button on the top of the axis gui - this will restart
the program operation
This is not the perfect solution because you are able to push the
pause button and restart the program without the spindle running. This
may lead to reduced tool life and increased scrap parts. BE CAREFUL
