Have You considered using motion.feed-hold pin? If I understand You correctly, it seems like a perfect fit for this case - enable it with M53 P1 in code and attach motion.feed-hold to whatever input from Your electronics. And motion will be paused, whenever the input is true. http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/motion.9.html -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
