[Emc-developers] Polling gcodes does not return active gcodes

2017-03-27 Thread Kurt Jacobson
many switches between G0 / G1 and G90 /G91. None of the other gcodes change either. Is this expected behavior of stat.gcodes or is this a bug in the Python Interface, or elsewhere? I think this might be related to Norbert's issue here: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/200 Thanks, Kurt

Greetings, Since you all are so helpful I am going to bother you again! As I learned yesterday I have to change motion mode to home and unhome joints in 2.8, so I decided to add a "motion mode" indicator to my UI. Based on the Python Interface docs[1] it looks like stat.motion_type should
