I thought the CTAXTRAP I used in another Do-more project (pre-BRX) was just perfect for an interruptible feed to resume the current move... But I don't see that in AXPOSTRAP.
Is there an equivalent function without having to go through the gyrations I went through with a D0-06 I used before for the near exact same retrofit?
I seriously don't have the room or budget to add a CTRIO2.
Surprisingly, the D0-06 is hard to beat size-wise, since the required thermocouple card fits within its footprint. I had to drop to an 18pt BX and 3 I/O cards to get slightly ahead on the I/O count of a 36 pt BX with THM. There is still 1 slot open on a similarly configured D0-06.
I also found that BCD and octal and pointers (all mixed together) doesn't fall into the "it just works" category in a Do-more. I was thinking I could just... no... that doesn't work... that neither... Oh well, it's only time and it'll be cleaner after it is reworked anyway.

Suspend? Sure. It's a bit in the Axis structure.

Fabulous! It can sometimes be awhile between "involved" programming and everything else, and that's my excuse for constantly forgetting to look for the "bits" and pieces.
Did I say constantly? I meant occasionally! ::)
Thank you!

To be fair, it was a significant change in our approach. We didn't think every bit that could interact with an axis needed to be a leg on the box, but that removed the 'advertising' and forced more awareness on the user's part. Good/bad. I could, and have, argued both. Still not sure what is better.
