Reload Program Through Pin

Tried all that, I think....

Can you do it in a M-code? Did not seem to work for me.

Here is one I tried with no success


M101

#!/bin/sh
halcmd setp halui.mode.mdi true
axis-remote -m "o100 call"
halcmd setp halui.mode.manual true
axis-remote —reload &
exit 0

Sure would like to see Linuxcnc create a method to deal with this problem in the next release.

Still not convinced there is a problem

Nothing you have shown checks that the state has changed to the desired state before proceeding

I'm not sure where I can check the state from for this to work?
Can the M-code do logic?

Would I place the hali.mode.is-manual in the M-code file and check there?
How do I pause the m-code until it is in manual mode before proceeding with the reload?
Can you give an example?

Ok, I think it's behaving I little more here, however, I cannot get the m-code to put the machine back to manual mode after the reload.??

Not the most elegant way but
a bash while loop in your script waiting for

halcmd getp halui.mode.is-mdi | grep true

Having a 0 exit code is a possibility for waiting for mode changes
