Wating for return of custom M-code was created by Bocnc
Hi,
I am struggeling with the behaviour of a custom M-code.
In short: I wrote a custom M-code which I need for a toolchange script (Remapped M6 to toolchange.ngc).
Within my toolchange.ngc I call the custom M-code (M130).
However, linuxcnc will not wait for the M-code to finish but immediately proceed with the subsequent code.
Example:
toolchange.ngc
M130
The debug output gets printed immediately (and any following code). If I run the M script in a terminal while linuxcnc is running, the M file returns after X seconds.
Furthermore I can see that the run state of linuxcnc is active for X seconds but the toolchange.ngc does not wait for the M130 to return. Any ideas?

Just found the solution. The problem is, that the debug output gets printed immediately. However, if any motion comands are placed after the M-code, they get correctly executed after the M-Code finished.
