Hi guys,
i just read through a bunch of topics, but ... probably I am just too stupid :-) ... couldn't find anything regarding my problem:
We have 2 Mach3 driven wood cnc machines and a DMG and a HAAS for metal works.
At both metal machines I can do 2 things while a program (G-Code) is running:
1: Set the feedrate to 0, so the program "stops" but the spindle runs
2: Press pause, which causes an IMMEDIATE pause.
So I tried to setup any of the both options with Mach3, but somehow I do not find a proper solution.
If I override the feed rate in the feedrate DRO to 0, I get an error saying (cannot perform move with 0 feedrate) or similar
If I press pause, Mach performs the buffered moves before it stops (our wood CNC is 3m long...)
I know I can it the STOP button for an immediate stop, but there is no simple way to "restart" as (I assume) the path precalculation will also be interrupted and....there seems to be not option to automatically restart the spindle.
Hope this is written understandable enough :-)
Thanks for any help I can get.
