The best way to check Estop state

[shad]

Hello Balazs!
My plugin all time check current Estop state of the UCCNC using UC.GetLED(25) function. But any time on the UCCNC start up this function return incorrect value (UCCNC in the RESET state, but function return false. It's can be short time on start, but for me this is important because my controller go out from reset state and it's not good, especially after then first power up).
Is it possible to check current UCCNC state not from screen LED? May be directly from kernel using for example GetControllerState() function.
Thank you!

I think I am find solution. Just add 250 msec delay before start plugin main loop.
Works perfect

Hi Andrew,

What about waiting for the e-stop LED to go active before doing things in your plugin?
I mean when the UCCNC starts to run and starts your plugin then start reading the LED code 25. and only start doing things when that LED first becomes active.

This is a good idea too.
Thank you!
