Retrofitting a 1986 Maho MH400E

I thing it will work, disconnect the (gearbox) motors and check while you make the first attempt so you wont crush the gearbox.

There is also a Simulator in github, so you should first run changes to the gearbox comp through that ti test them.

I wrote a short program (attached) to surface and trim the end of piece of stock, but made a typo in the fourth to last line. instead of
When I tried to load the file, LinuxCNC tried to verify it, and got in an infinite loop. Is there are more elegant way to recover from this than hard rebooting the machine?

"Esc" should work, but may take a while.

I just did it again. This time again a conditional loop:
C = -1
while [x GT Y]

x = [x-C]

So the thing looks until a number drops below another one, but it starts higher and increments by minus a negative number, therefore increasing to infinity. What an idiot!

I tried ESC, but after 3 minutes, still no response. I hate hard rebooting it all the time. Should learn to be more careful at coding.

Silly idea: what happens when you trigger a linit switsch
