Reload Program Through Pin

(of course you cannot invoke this when running a program)

Running a z-probe routine evoked from a pendant.

Error is "can't do this in manual mode."

It does do it, just hangs for a long time then spits the error after reloading.

I see many other people having the same problem.

Same problem as this guy.

this post led me to believe he may have solved it, but not for me. I'm running latest release.

Wonder if there's is a race condition? (mode not changed before reload issued)

If you get a wrong mode error then your code needs to check the mode and place LinuxCNC into the correct mode (MDI).

Take a look at halui modes.

You can also do this with the python interface.

Thats why I was suggesting a race condition, a script that changes the mode
may have to wait until the mode change occurs before proceeding with operations that depend on the
requested mode change

Exactly, if your changing to mdi mode you must wait for halui.mode.is-mdi to be true before marching on in your program.
