    This is similar, but not the same as, the “Resume from Feedhold” forum question. I’m wondering if the M53 code will be implemented. This command will “allow motion to be interrupted by means of a feed stop control“. I use this command in my current GCode to make sure that if something stops the spindle, like a VFD current overload situation, the machine stops moving too. Without this, I’ve had situations where the machine tried to drag the spindle, with it’s non-spinning bit, through thick pieces of plexiglass and aluminum. It can do a lot of damage like this! I usually issue the M53 command inn my GCode file as soon as the spindle start command is issued, and leave it in that mode for the entire file. It requires an input from the spindle that indicates that it’s OK. I use the “At Speed” signal from my spindle controller to feed this command. Are there plans to implement this command, or something that performs the same function? Thanks in advance, and thanks for working on a product that is VERY much needed in the DIY cnc world!

    Thanks for the note. We have been refactoring the digital IO system and will include M53 as an option.
