EMC stops executing code (code format issue?)

But, to my earlier thought, if you have speed feedback to EMC and you tell it to run at S500, won' t it wait until you get in range to proceed?

It can but doesn't do so by default. Look at motion.spindle-at-speed here: linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config_emc2hal.html
and see if it is wired in your HAL (I suspect it probably isn't)

Apparently this is the case in my setup - I guess maybe PnCConf sets this up automatically, because I don't believe I selected that anywhere? I tried the code string again and sure enough, if I start with spindle off, it stops at the next line and once I spin up the spindle it proceeds.

I added in some code for the GS2 RPM meter in the post-HAL, but I really did not change anything in the HAL file that was setup in PnCConf besides the bug fixes have to do every time run PnCConf.

Very nifty feature, I must say, but kind of odd that it set itself up 'automatically'!

Thanks for checking!

If you upgrade to 2.4.7 the pncconf bug fixes will be in there...

I am thinking of doing that but waiting till I get around to replace the hard drive to get rid of the latency issue that crops up once and awhile upon hard drive access. Doesn't seem to affect operation yet, but I am sure it will bite me one of these times.

I didn't really see it advertised though, is there a different place to get the LiveCD?
Thanks!

You should get the 2.4.7 update as an automatic update, or from the Software Centre.
