Re: [Emc-users] Gcode to a keystroke

[Jim W. <jam...@gm...>]

Thank you Sebastion,

This is for my new to me EMCO compact 5 cnc lathe retrofit.

I use a lot of "o" word loops in my programs.

When debugging if I get more than four messages ,they start to scroll
over my tool changer information.

So I thought if I could clear the messages just before I sent a new one
they wouldn't scroll ,making a cleaner display.

I will study what you suggest and see what I can come up with.
