Hi Tom,
Posted reply earlier on yahoo group today 5 times and it never made it.
Tested patch.
When in tap cycle. I hit Pause, spindle and Z come to a controlled stop and are still synced. Releasing pause, spindle and Z continue and finish tap cycle.
When a Halt is executed during tap cycle, Z and spindle come to a controlled stop. Z and spindle stay synced and the only way to clear this is to execute an ESTOP.
Another issue now has to do with enter key and my Reference Axis program.
Whenever a limit switch is triggered i have a pop up stating what axis and what switch has been triggered.
When i run my Reference Axis C code program these pop ups happen.Dont need them to during referencing, just couldn't figure out how to shut them off during referencing.
To close pop up user must click OK or hit enter key on keyboard. Now when i hit enter key the reference c code starts all over again, even thow it is already running.

"Hi Troy,
Found another bug. Uploading feedhold state of -2 as Hex string "0xFFFFFFFE" instead of decimal string.
Please see what happens with this:

But no movement nor spindle restart happens when pressing pause again nor are the Rew and For buttons available. If i start spindle manually by keyboard shortcut or on screen button, tapping cycle continues until cycle is finished. And if spindle is manually rotated (with a piece of wood. ) Z and spindle are still synced, if i continue to rotate spindle in either CW or CCW direction and reach beginning or ending of hole, the spindle will turn on again and finish tap cycle for that hole. In a way this is nice but obviously not safe unless spindle would remain off and wait for user to turn on spindle or prompt user to turn on spindle again to continue. And continuing would end cycle for that hole and continue on to next hole.I for one like the synced option, just wish it would leave spindle off. Or maybe be able to use the Rew and For buttons?

Typical standard default would be when a Halt is executed the spindle and axis stops immediately and synced is lost.Which i think is what you would want as a default for most users.
