How to right sequence run - pause -stop

Thanks John, but i didn't mean for you to take the time to figure this out.
if you'ld ahve said it's more complicated the just linking at the start, i would have moved on:)
but thanks again for your time and efforts. as far as the hal examples, where ?

Cool, will help to better understand what's happening.

ok... ok.....what did ya'll do ? the below works great.
i know i had this config before, so i figure ya'll did somein'
i couldn't get yours' to work John. it paused fine but had to use
emc menus' resume. now y dis wokin' now ?



#pause/resume
net pause-btn toggle.2.in halui.program.pause pyvcp.prog-pause
net resume-btn toggle.2.out halui.program.resume

i tried doing this i sim, but fix one error .......... another moves in it's place

i cheated and used classicladder to do what u are trying to achieve, -though there is a slight delay in the button's operation.
my setup is one button (Cycle start) and a (Feed Hold) button.

feed hold is "pause", and "cycle start" changes to "resume" if the machine is paused. both buttons look to see if the machine is running-etc.

i'm trying to learn pyvcp so i'm staying away from the ladder world. but
thought about trying the ladder(even look at it) and figured i'm better
where i'm at. thanks for the idea M4MazakUser. but i wouldn't
like the delay for some reason.

this works great for me. it's off a little from the main emc. i mean, if i click the axis menu pause...
i have to click my button twice to get it working again. john explained this earlier. but as far
as that, i'm happy ! thanks all !!!!!!!!! (especially BigJohnT)



#pause/resume
net pause-btn halui.program.pause == toggle.2.in pyvcp.prog-pause
net resume-btn toggle.2.out == halui.program.resume


p.s. now that d### run/stop evil little thing.

i've been trying to get a pyvcp button to toggle on/off or run/stop with a little success.
attached is my xml, hal and custom hal file for anyone interested. below are my
problem areas. on/off and pause/resume work great except that they get "out of sync" with
emc. if i use axis menu, then try to use my buttons, i have to click twice to get em to work.
with run/stop, run work(also gets "out of sync") but stop gives me errors. don't know if what
i've been trying is doable, but it's been fun to learn this. hope this helps someone
down the line. Good Luck !
