problem with single run/resume button.

I am having a problem with setting up a single run/resume buton.
I have followed the wiki. I an running 2.6~pre and gmoccapy.
I am able to see the run/resume pin change in halmeter.

here is my ini file.

##### Start cycle start section

net cyce_start edge.0.in flipflop.0.set <= hm2_5i20.0.gpio.060.in_not

##### End Cycle start section

Thank you

Jim

what problem are you having Jim ?

attached is a snip of what i use to pause and resume if it's any help ,
although i notice your using gmoccapy , so their may be a conflict there etc , in the handler

Cncbasher,

I have tried your code and it works as described. What I really want is something that works more like my mill. That not only pauses programmed moves but also stops rapids. So cycle start starts and resumes program. Feed hold stops all joint movement including rapids. Until I reset the program or resume movement.

The ini that I included was made from a logic diagram from the wiki. The only thing it did not do if it worked was stop or hold rapids. Is there a way to pause and stop rapids as well.


Jim

It is called "one button run/resume" under the "external controls" section.

wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?One_Button_Run/Resume

The pause did not stop the initial rapid to the beginning code for facing last night.
That tells me pause will not stop all movements. When I pause or feed hold I am looking for things to stop. Including
rapids and in the middle of a rapid movement. In other words stop all movement. Your code works fine except for the
rapids thing. It is just different than my mill is all. When running new code on my mill I have a finger on the feed hold all the time.

Jim

Jim ,
the way I see it , and I fully respect that I may be wrong , is that rapids are part of the gcode interpreter and that stop and start are part of the machine controller .
so even if their is a way to stop rapids , it's more than what happens next , i.e just a pause so ok to resume , or dump the rapid and lose the position in code or indeed what happens next
or the next move , this is easier in machine controllers I think . although I am not sure of linuxcnc in this regard . but it should be handled somehow , so I would bring this topic to the developers table and request a verdict of thoughts .
