I was using emc.stat().file and .current_line from a M101 script to find the M101 line and extract the comment (similar to `M1 (hello world)' notifications). This was working fine until I followed that with a `O123 call' and then sometimes .file is "123.ngc" although .line is still correct. I think what I see in .file is dependent on whether there is motion at the time of the `O123 call'.
I would really like to pass a string to M101 (a filename) and I would also like to be able to use .file to get a base path for the .ngc to help locate the specified file. However the M101 works in conjunction with the subroutine in the other file so it will be followed by `O- call'. I'd rather not put something in between (and some attempts with G4 dwell didn't help, either in the top .ngc or the 123.ngc sub file). -- Ben Jackson AD7GD <b...@ben.com> http://www.ben.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Doing More with Less: The Next Generation Virtual Desktop What are the key obstacles that have prevented many mid-market businesses from deploying virtual desktops?
