Error or warning

I am running LinuxCNC version 2.4.7 with Axis interface and a mesa 5I20 card. Everything is running fine except every now and then a small message box opens up and reads


Cant do that ( EMC_TASK_PLAN_RUN) in auto mode with interpreter reading

Any clues as to what's happening and how to eliminate it?

Hi

As John says it can be triggered by anything that can only be done in Manual mode, when you are in Auto mode or when still in the process of a move in MDI setting.

I keep getting it when I issue a MDI command to go to co-ordinates near the workpiece and then press F3 to switch to Manual so as to jog precisely with the pendant, before the MDI move has actually finished.

Its only a warning so not a problem as soon as you understand why it arises.

regards

I may have a more fundamental problem than finger trouble.

I am doing nothing in the way of manual input when this warning pops up.

I have also noticed that the mouse is misbehaving. It may call for more than a single click to get the buttons to react to mouse. In fact the mouse is seen , as indicated by amplifier enable LED, however there seems to be a double click occurring when the mouse is clicked only once and the amp enable is toggled very quickly through enable disable steps only to end up in same state it started in.

More investigating to follow.
