Run-from-line can indeed be dangerous as the tool will make a direct path back
to the run point ignoring any obstructions. Don't ask how I know. .

You could just do this:
Put a M00 on the line right before the TxM6 line.
When the machine stops at the M00 hit the esc key
Now jog around,change tools and touch off. reload the tool table.
I will assume that you are using AXIS so now right click on the
TxM6 line and it will start from there.

I always thought that the small tools used for PCB work (the ones with the
colored beads on the shaft) were made so that the back of the bead is a
reference distance to the tip of the tool. Then you could change the tool,
push the bead up against the collett, tighten to a specific torque, and go.

Thanks for the

I run Linux exclusively on ISA motherboards because I need to plug in
some old encoder cards for ISA slots.

re: paper tape
Jon,
maybe of interest, DIY optical reader
at least you could get the data

tomp
I think i have an old Olympus 'star wheel' reader, predates the 'wire
finger' readers
and way older than optical :)

Has anyone attempted a build with RTAI using a 2.6.38ish kernel yet?
I ask because while I used the livecd to install on my laptop, I was having
close to zero luck getting the wireless stuff to work, and an attempt to
build wpa_supplement's latest release against that old kernel was a rather

I don't know whether you'll have to switch or not. You can still try
mplabx, but it may take some effort to get everything going. You can turn
in a support ticket now, its just whether or not you want to spend the time
getting it going. Personally, after an initial test, I am letting others
