Title: Coroutine or executewait
Post by: Stuart on August 02, 2019, 02:27:11 PM

I have a need to execute a couple of lines of gcode and then run a script

Is it best to use a coroutine.wait or mc.mcCntl(inst,”Gxx”)

What i am asking is which is the safer to ensure that the gcode is completed

I do know how to implement the coroutine in screen load and the plc , and have it working as such

It all depends on what your doing. If it can be done with mc.mcCntlGcodeExecuteWait() then no reason not to use it. Technically I guess it would be the safest. But using a coroutine is perfectly fine too as long as it is implemented correctly.

Thanks for the input

As I said I have it working as a coroutine ,but I wondered if I have over complicated it
