I agree. The current behaviour in MDI is to feed hold and abort the rest of the motion. That should also work for auto. Les On 05/12/17 22:14, Greg Bentzinger via Emc-users wrote: I like Seb's version with the exception that a probe trigger E-stop. Personally I would prefer the option to

I perhaps have a little different perspective since we use probe moves with plasma systems where the "probe" is the torch tip and is either ohmic sensing or a switch mechanically activated when the torch is pressed against the metal. 2.7 does not ignore all spurious trips, because it will

Perhaps too much to ask but having the "stop on unexpected probe trip" behavior driven by a tool table parameter would be even better. That would eliminate the need to modify existing probe routines. > -Original Message- > From: Cristian Bontas [mailto:cristianbonta...@gmail.com] >
