Re: [Emc-developers] Mode switching bug

Jogging while paused is a separate problem from removing modes. Chris, you might like to look at Dewey's External offset branch as he's included a Jog while paused sime for the z axis. See https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/dgarr/external_offsets/configs/sim/axis/external_offsets/jwp_z.ini

Re: [Emc-developers] Mode switching bug

Jogging while paused is a separate problem from removing modes. The controller is busy when paused, So not available to do anything else. I agree Michael's idea to the jog while paused problem was very interesting and probably opened up other interesting uses, unfortunately I'm sure it's dead

Re: [Emc-developers] Mode switching bug

I don't think you can lost the modes completely as you still need to know the current machine state. For instance if the machine is running MDI code and you enter another MDI line before the previous one has finished, the next line should be queued. However if you enter an MDI line while

I generally split my hal files by function. For instance load.hal loads everything, spindle.hal deals with spindle stuff, motion.hal deals with the axes and so on. Les -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one

Re: [Emc-developers] Mode switching bug

I actually wonder why the controller must have modes at all. The only thing really important is if it is busy it must finish. ie if it's busy running an MDI command it can't jog If it's running a program it can't MDI etc Traditionally NC machines separated these modes with a switch. I don't

Re: [Emc-developers] Mode switching bug

I have gotten really used to being able to Jog regardless of the Axis tab being displayed. As long as Jogging is disabled during any commanded operation I think it is safe. My $.01 since I am relatively new here... -Tom Schneider -Original Message- From: Gene Heskett
