Qtdragon on master will now log the last run line (when in auto mode) if estop,machine off, abort or end of program.

almost. I dont have support for SPI SD card that they use on the manta just yet.

LinuxCNC froze! That’s the first time I’ve ever heard of that happening. In your case, since it’s a plasma machine, the risk of harm is relatively low when the control system locks up. But if this had occurred on a large machine, it could’ve been disastrous. That’s exactly why I always advocate for an external hardwired E-stops which are fail-safe and operate independently of the software layers. Relying on on-screen gui emergency stops or and wireless pendant estop are inherently unsafe, as they can create a false sense of security. As you experience shows, you could not stop the machine and you had to reboot the computer.
