Quick question. On the MDI screen in Axis does the HALUI connection set the Active G-Codes: field with a reply?
So if an M7 is sent M7 shows up. If an M8 is sent the M8 shows up. And if both coolants are switched off with the M9 we see the M7 M8 vanish and replaced with M9. The http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/m-code.html#mcode:m7-m8-m9 Says that these are linked directly to the iocontrol.0.coolant-mist or flood pins. I'm asking because again on the User control screen we can switch the spindle on and change the speed but the Sx and Mx values don't show up in the Active G-Codes. So it's like the user screen has a back door into LinuxCNC different from the G/M codes. And that's why we have that override issue where spindle is turning from the user screen but no M3/4 in effect so when an S1000 is issued on the MDI the spindle stops. Which is correct but I question then the user screen and how it's done. In a way I understand. After all there isn't a G code for jogging an axis. But the Coolant check boxes work differently again suggesting the Active G-Codes: list is upated whenever an MDI command is sent. Give this a try to see what I mean. In the AXIS screen check both Flood and Mist. Then go to the MDI screen. Note the Active G-Codes still says M9. Now on the command screen enter an M7 to turn on MIST. Go back to the MDI screen. Notice the M9 is gone but there's both an M7 and an M8. So it appears to be correctly reporting two outputs. The M7 on an already on M7 doesn't change anything. So then we're back to this spindle issue. If the spindle is turning clockwise at 500 RPM from the command window and an S1000 is issued from the MDI then shouldn't the reported status back from the lower level state that there is an M3 in process and S is now 1000. That would be more consistent.
