[Emc-developers] Proposal: Change default behavior on abort to 'M2'

2025-06-06 Thread David Mueller
And just to further clarify, this discussion is currently only partially related to the subject header. Yes the 'm2' proposal for default abort is off the table. In the MDI window you can't do this, as the faulty command is rejected immediately. I think the concern is  for mdi commands stacked

Re: [Emc-developers] Proposal: Change default behavior on abort to 'M2'

2025-06-05 Thread David Mueller
We routinely use MDI commands in complicated probing macros and detecting errors is difficult but very important. There is no way to definitively know if a single MDI command was run and failed, other then checking for an error message. After adding a faulty mdi command to the stack we do get

Re: [Emc-developers] Proposal: Change default behavior on abort to 'M2'

Would we just delete all that, or make it INI-controlled defaulting to the old behaviour? Preliminary testing indicates that this might indeed do what you outlined. Stacking still works but illegal commands like 'G81 Z-10' will only trigger a message but not abort execution of running code. Ho

Thank you for the lively discussion! 1. I have to retract this statement: I'd like to note here is that a program 'stop' (ie clicking on the stop button) does currently not do same as a program 'abort' which comes from the interpreter (eg in case of a limit violation or (abort, abortmessage) )

Thank you for your comment! As I understand it your proposal would create an option to the behavior of 'm2'/'m30' ( which currently resets the active WCS to 'g54'). This is not directly related and removing the lines you mention from 'interp_convert.cc' does not fix the buggy behavior on abort

Hi Robert, If you try to do blending between feed and rapid moves, I think it needs to be an option and that it's important that the option be turned off by default. FYI, my reasoning: Today, LCNC is a G code driven CNC implementation. C code is inherently a modal language and G0 & G1 are diffe
