G64 not read properly in RS247NGC_STARTUP_CODE

In 2.9 g64 is set by default to a much more reasonable number.
But as Rod mentioned anything can override the setting.

Oh, I have missed the release of 2.9.1 as stable linuxcnc version. Can't wait to upgrade!

Thanks for the remarks. I will test it once I have upgraded.

However, did anyone test including G64 in the startup code and verified it is actually processed correctly?

open linuxcnc's status program and look at 'settings', the last two numbers are g64 P and Q numbers

remember when you toggle F2 in axis you lose your g64
so having it in startup_code I find it imho useless

You can cover that with on_abort_command if you like.

Dear @radom! Thanks for that remark. If it is the case, then you are absolutely right that adding it in the startup code does not make sense. It could well be the reason why it seems not to work: it might be read in the startup code but then set back do default when enabling the machine.

But I don't understand the reason for this? The startup code is meant to bring the machine into a known and reproducible state, if the settings are overwritten by F2 then there is no point in it. Or is it only true for some commands?
