Problem with Run was created by tfhess
I am having a problem with "Run" on emc2 version 2.7.0. In short, nothing happens when invoked on Axis (or any other gui)
I have full manual control of my mill, can home axes and move them around but nothing works when trying to run a gcode program, including examples from the .iso build. I am running a pico pwm board with servos on 3-axis mill.
I have attached an .ini file and gcode for more info.
Any advice, suggestions on this problem?

Did you create your ini file with stepconf?

No - used a preexisting .ini from Jon Elson and then added to it with editor.

Do you happen to have "spindle at speed" somewhere in hal?
If you do not have any feedback from the spindle and you have that statement in hal, it will be waiting for that signal so it will not move at all any time it gets the M3 command.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did look at the hal files, deleted reference to spindle, but the problem still exists.
Its interesting that example nc files (axis, 3-d chips) do run with spindle calls - but my nc files do not even though they came from mastercam (from an EMC2 post processor). I put a line in [Filter] to recognize them as .NC files.
Today I plan to compare the nc files that do run to mine to look for characters that the interpreter does not like.

Can you upload your .hal file?
Also, start linuxcnc from a console and see if it spits anything pertinent.
Try entering T1 M6 in the MDI window? any reaction?

A ha. There was trouble with the T1 M3 statement. Wouldn't run in MDI window - just froze up for a bit. When I took that statement out of my NC file, it ran as normal.
So my run problem is solved for the short term (thanks for the suggestion!), but what is going on with loading a tool? The tool table feature has never worked.

Last I checked it is a T1 M6 statement.

It sounds like a problem with the tool-change loop.
T1 sets iocontrol.0.tool-prepare true, and waits (indefinitely) for iocontrol.0.tool-prepared to go true. Often these are just connected together:Then the M6 sets iocontrol.0.tool-change and waits for iocontrol.0.tool-changed.
Often those are looped together too, but more frequently they pass through hal_manualtoolchange to force an on-screen prompt.
If either loop is left open then things will stop during a tool change request.
