Hello, Would like to discuss adoption of JogWhilePaused at Next meeting. I often need to withdraw the tool from the cut to inspect cutter and work. Perhaps it began to sound different and make me worry about cutter. Maybe I see a clamp too close to tool path. I find the JogWhilePaused a great

Hello I read this page http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?About_Charge_Pumps. What is needed to make sure the BOB is only active when LinuxCNC is up, running and healthy? When LinuxCNC is not running, some outputs are in the wrong state. Therefore, I would like to enable the BOB only
