Chris & Stephen,
Thank you guys, that did it.
Although I read the Hal manual and did the tutorials, I am still grappling with
the notion of threads. I appreciate your help!

I'm pretty sure you can reload the tool table. If this is so, then you
can replace the contents
Hi all,
IIUC there is no way to dynamically replace a whole tool table.
IOW I must shut down emc, edit the .ini to point to the new tool
table and then start emc again.

Yeah - I get that. But these machines are tiny little desktop routers. We

Hi Len,
Never rely on a computer for EStop or limits. Your EStop and limit
switches should all be part of a chain of switches that directly kill
the supply. The computer should obviously be notified that an EStop has
occurred but it should not be able to prevent an EStop. In the case of
limit

Thanks for bringing this up.
EMC has provisions for soft limits set in the ini file, hard limit
switches (some of mine also
serve as Home switches) and E(mergency)-Stop switches.
My E-stop switches (big Allen-Bradley N.O. buttons with guards) are
tied to the estop input
pin and a relay to kill pow
Sorry - let me rephrase the question...
Forget about the fact that it's an e-stop. I want to be able to use switches
on a pendent to perform the same functions as some of the axis screen
buttons.
I just happened to start with the e-stop signal, but I will be using others.
I tried to point it to
e-stop would be manual switches. Not limit switches.

If you're looking for two inputs to stop EMC2, you can easily do that
with an "or" component (or "and" if you're using negative logic).
A better way to do it is to use an input as active low, an

Why do you need them on different pins?
You could wire two NO switches in parallel or two NC switches in series.
Each set would be handled by a single pin.

I'm not sure this is related to M00, I have a similar problem on my 2.2.2

Is this intentional?
