Is there a way to print a message to AXIS?

Another easy way to do this is to use a 'user M code'.

ArcEye that is a neat trick, I will have to try it.

Rick G

/usr/bin/aplay (plays formats voc, wav, raw, au)

/usr/bin/arecord (records)

for ogg there is

/usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --file=bark.ogg

Is there a command line audio player that would do that?

mpg123 IS a command line player! Or you could use any of the ones Dewey mentioned.

Now thats slick, just the thing I was hoping for thanks!
Also thanks to John for his suggestion.

ArcEye,
This looks very interesting. I tried this out, but my message doesn't pop up. The program stops...but no message. My Ubuntu uses Gnome to open the message, could this be the problem? Do I need to somehow tell it to use Gnome instead of "qiv"? I am not sure what "qiv" is.
I am very new at this, so please be patient.
Thanks

Sorry, I didn't read all the posts and I see BigJohnT had already addressesd the Gnome issue. I still cannot get my message to pop up. I am running the LiveCD as I am just playing around at the moment. I have also made a new message from what ArcEye had used.
This is what I have stored in my folder (/home/ubuntu/emc2/nc_files)

My message is called: stopmessage.png

My M112 files consists of the following:

#!/bin/bash
eog/home/ubuntu/emc2/nc_files/stopmessage.png
exit 0

I have M112 in my Gcode (which does stop the program from running). Do I need any variables after M112?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

John,
I have tried that as well, with no luck.
Dave

I have attached my file.

#!/bin/bash

eog /home/ubuntu/emc2/nc_files/stopmessage.png

exit 0


Thanks
