M999 Does not work!

Controllers Smoothie
1

Hi,
I’m trying to find a way to STOP a job that smoothie is currently cutting. Currently the way I’m doing it now is to PAUSE it first and then restart the board but there is a big problem that I’m having with that which is having to do the homing process every time I do this.
Now I see that you guys added the M999 m-code and base on the definition “reset from a halted state caused by limit switch, M112 or kill switch,” What I understand is that this command has to restart from the halt but it doesn’t work for me. How do we have to use this? Does it have to be through the console? Because currently I’m just using the Web-interface.

Thank you!

Maybe what you want is suspend and resume ? http://smoothieware.org/console-commands ?

As documented M999 only restarts from one of the three halt states. None of which you are in so M999 is not going to work for you.

How exactly do you pause?
