I am looking to leverage linuxcnc.org/docs/html/config/python-interface.html to build an API which will be able to perform basic machine functions like homing the axis, measuring tool length and running gcode. Out of curiousity do you guys know of any github repos or any open source projects I can reference to start this project?

Consider the following gcode lines:

197: G2 X[118.69393*#<scale>] Y[5.37699*#<scale>] I[5.36449*#<scale>] J[4.87005*#<scale>]
198: G2 X[118.27432*#<scale>] Y[8.23889*#<scale>] I[12.16539*#<scale>] J[3.2454*#<scale>]
199: G0 Z3.0
200: G55
201: M5
202: M30

LCNC reads/runs all the way down and stops at G0 Z3.0. And the program never resets. I stat.red_line, stat.motion_line, current_line, and see that motion_line is actually the line it is stuck on. In this case, it would be line 199. After 202: there is an EOF carraige return. I tried this using Axis, and all the others. I get the same result these do. 

M30 should read and rewind to first line in the program which is RS-274 GCODE. But, no matter what I try, nope.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Don

Tommy,

The replies demo what is actually happening in hopes I may get some guidance to fix it. My question is above them.

I made this work around that seems to be robust.

if cur_task_mode_mon == 1 and cur_interp_state_mon == 1 and cur_queue_mon == 0:
cmd.abort()

M30 is actually read into the buffer and executed, but the inerp has already reset before updating the line number que. That is a bug in Linuxcnc and breaks the standard function of M30 in RS274.

I may simply modify my lcnc to fix the issue. But for now, the above works and should only activate if the yask_mode is manual, which M30 does actually set on M30 read, the task_state is idle, which it should be, and the queue is empty. Which is the planner que.
