I'd like to be able to jog during a toolchange before touchoff starts, but I'd rather not solve the general 'jog during pause' problem outlined here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?WhyManualWhilePausedIsHard . And I dont want to got the 'abort program - restart from line' route either.
I think a new code (Mxx) would be useful which addresses a part of the problem in a safe way, namely "jogging under program control", which would work as follows: - a (say) halui.jog-mode pin is raised - the halui.jog * inputs are enabled, jogging is possible - when a,say, halui.jog-complete pin is raised, the code terminates This would work in any mode (auto, manual, mdi) and would be a queuebuster like toolchange, HAL pin read, and probe - readahead would stop, interp is synched at end of jog, readahead continues note this has much narrower applications than jog-during-pause, but it looks humanly doable (i.e. for me) Is it worth doing such a restricted jog mode? It would solve my problem but I'd be interested to here what other folks think about it -Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
