MOVE, PAUSE, WAIT for my input

[jimmer]

I want the machine to move away from the last operation, then pause whilst I check the work, then start up again when I click something.

Also I prefer not to have to call code in an external file (insert gcode).  And I want it all done by a single mop (MOVEPAUSE). I'd be quite happy if I could just write some GCODE directly into a mop.

At the moment I'm about do it by inserting a dummy drill mop at the out of the way location with a different tool. So I'm expecting to have to press GO before it moves away and then before it resumes operation. This seems pretty good because I don't need to know the GCODES the only downside is that I have to ensure the drill operation doesn't cut anything (not too difficult!).

Any other ideas?

I've not used my machine for a while, and feeling a bit anxious about trying new things LOL.

Hello

maybe you can insert GCode in the "Custom Mop Footer" property

Some G0 to move the tool away and a M0 to do a "pause"

Issue an extra G4 toolchange to the same tool you're using.  It will wait for you to 'change the tool', and proceed after hitting Enter.

I think a more specific process in the MOP footer like below would be more suitable. 

M5 M9
G53 Z(clearance) 0R G0 Z(clearance)
G0 X(x)Y(y)
M0
M3

Some controls may require you to set M0 in configuration and others may use G53 in very specific ways.  In others you may be able to use G28 or G30, but I would not.  Their exact implementation varies.

I like jimmer's question as it seems like a useful thing to know and be able to do.

But, I don't see any "Custom MOP Footer"  property in any MOP properties in CB1.0.
I see a "Custom File Footer" in the Machining Object but don't see how that apply to a specified MOP.

What am I missing?

It doesn't show if viewing BASIC MOP properties.  It does show in advanced.

Drum roll, please.  Ta-da!

Thanks.  I see it now.
