Hmm, that would be a bit invasive. I was hoping I could just hook into an existing function rather then modifying the core EMC code. Is there any other way to sniff the messages before they hit task? To be honest, this isn't a major issue. In most cases the code can be deduced from the machine

do you enter MDI commands at the control panel which get fed into task, and want to record those, or record button presses which tickle halui or motion? (are you on #emc or #emc-devel? that should clarify faster) -m Am 19.04.2011 um 14:22 schrieb Les Newell: > The plan is to make it a user mo

The plan is to make it a user mode HAL component, controlled by pins. I will be controlling it with buttons on my lathe's control panel but you could use it with pyvcp or gladevcp. Les On 19/04/2011 12:54, Michael Haberler wrote: > does the 'teach component' run as part, or child of Axis, or so
