Todd, I just now got rid of a mild headache I woke up with, but now its back. :( One might add limit switches to stop the crash I suppose, but that would be tricky to setup just because the switches are going to be a few milliseconds out of time, but each would have to be wired into its own instance of LinuxCNC. Resuming cleanly after the crash stop I'll have to leave to your ingenuity. I've not mastered that myself. A single instance running both processes might be doable, but then how does one actually make them run asynch? I assume that IS the target? -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
