That appears to be the show stopper, unless a pyvcp button to click on when its going to be used might be used to tally that, run the mux etc. But that would be after the below was already initialized I think. But a rehome after the tally was made true or false might show a way. It will take some imagination. Assuming the mux2 was the zero or search vel switch, how do I get the mux2 output back into the search vel link? And the interlock needs to know if the loaded code contains an A|B|C move. Pretty complex... And I'm beat up from yard work, tried to trim a hedge that has some 40mm diameter branches. I'll hurt tomorrow, sure as heck. Humm, maybe I could use a timer trick like I once did in the simulation to generate a dummy home switch. Or a dummy search switch closure thats actually a timedelay, I've done that so code useing a G38.2 could be simulated. > and a mux2 to switch between real and > simulated home (wcomp looking at apparent position of the stepgen?) Thats another way. Thanks Andy. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
