is Smoothieboard reporting its current progress back to the host software or is it possible to poll it to get the position?
I recognized yesterday that if i start a command from the webinterface (like jog x 100 via the jog rose, as well as G01 X1000 F1000), I can click the abort button but smoothieboard keeps going and the responseof the abort command is something like “no file played”!?
So i wonder if i send a command lets say via the telnet interface, can i send a M114 and get the position immediately or only when the current move has finished?

You have to poll using the progress command.

Abort is only to interrupt the execution of a play command.

M114 should answer immediately with the current position
thank you for the answers! I will try the M114 tomorrow.
Is there a way to abort a command (like the jog commands)? In my opinion its kind of risky to have no option to abort a command, especially if the command results in a move! May be you should change the behavior of the abort command to affect all commands!?
