Proper Single Block (fanuc/siemens style)

Good evening everyone, I just wanted to show off one feature I was working with, also you will notice the complete new HMI, more of that later..



Best regards,
Franco

I wasn't actually aware that there was a problem with the existing single-block mode (partly as `i have never used it) . Can you elaborate on what you have fixed?

To be honest I would expect single-block to default to exact-stop and _not_ machine the blends. But I can see that if you are wanting exactly the same final part then you would not want that.

Same here, i did read it and wondered the same thing, but since it was over 2 years ago that i used it, i could not confirm nor deny that. Back then it did work exactly as it should, it would run a single line and stop.
Since the new look ahead was default, i do not know if that is the case now, and i can not test that on a plasma machine.

single block is supposed to follow the gcode file lines.
You can run each line one at a time - no matter what it is.
Linuxcnc skips some lines because it combines them into one motion message.
linuxcnc single blocks motion messages.

Also I think single block usually uses cycle start to initiate each line.

Just to be clear, I am not dismissing your work or claiming that the current behaviour is correct. I am trying to understand what you have fixed. 

Do you have a git hub with your changes?
