      @owend This is the text from the console after changing the resume.g file...

        OK,
        We are getting close.
        It seems there is no tool selected after the pause.
        If you have multiple tools then it may be necessary to record which was selected.
        I made a small error on one part that didn't give me the value I wanted in one of tehechos.

        Please change both files

        ; pause.g
        G1 Z{max(move.axes[2].userPosition+5,move.axes[2].max-5)} ; move the Z axis to a safe height
        if {state.currentTool >= 0} & {tools[state.currentTool].spindleRpm >= 0}
        	set global.savedSpindleSpeed = tools[state.currentTool].spindleRpm ; save current spindle speed
        	G1 X273.5 Y560 F2400 ; move XY to a safe place
        	M5 ; turn the spindle off
        	echo "Spindle speed saved at " ^ { global.savedSpindleSpeed } ^ "RPM"
        else
        	echo "condition not met - Tool is ", state.currentTool, " Spindle RPM is ", tools[state.currentTool].spindleRpm
        

        and

        resume.g
        
        ; first ensure we have an active tool
        if state.currentTool =-1
        	echo "No tool active.  Selecting tool zero"
        	T0 ; select tool zero
        if state.currentTool >= 0
        	echo "Spindle state on tool " , state.currentTool , " is " ,   spindles[state.currentTool].state
        if {state.currentTool >= 0} & {tools[state.currentTool].spindleRpm >= 0}
        	M3 S{global.savedSpindleSpeed}	; resume saved spindle speed
        	G4 S1					; wait 1 second to allow the spindle to spin up
        	echo "Spindle speed resumed at ", spindles[state.currentTool].active, "RPM" ; this should show that the setting was successful
        	G1 R1 X0 Y0 F2400	
        else
        	echo "condition not met.  Spindle speed remains at " , tools[state.currentTool].spindleRpm ,  "RPM"
        

        EDIT:
        Apologies.
        I got the indenting on pause.g all wrong. (lack of sleep). Corrected above

          @owend I'm happy to leave this for now, if you need to get some beauty sleep!

          Here's the console text:

            All good.

            Can you try this pause.g
            I can't understand the index out of bounds if there's a tool selected.
            There is no line 20, but you're probably getting extra carriage returns when copy/pasting

            ; pause.g
            if state.currentTool = -1
            	echo "No tool selected"
            G1 Z{max(move.axes[2].userPosition+5,move.axes[2].max-5)} ; move the Z axis to a safe height
            {if state.currentTool >= 0} & {tools[state.currentTool].spindleRpm >= 0}
            	set global.savedSpindleSpeed = tools[state.currentTool].spindleRpm ; save current spindle speed
            	G1 X273.5 Y560 F2400 ; move XY to a safe place
            	M5 ; turn the spindle off
            	echo "Spindle speed saved at " ^ { global.savedSpindleSpeed } ^ "RPM"
            else
            	echo "condition not met - Tool is ", state.currentTool, " Spindle RPM is ", tools[state.currentTool].spindleRpm

              @owend Doing that now, but I REMd out the other lines, so that's why there's a line 20.

              Not any more, though!

                  @owend Should the wriggly brackets be after the second "if"?

                  I changed it anyway, and now get this in the Console:

                  27/05/2022, 20:46:49 	M0
                  Cancelled printing file 0:/gcodes/Calibration Toolpath.gcode, print time was 0h 0m

                  27/05/2022, 20:46:43 	No tool selected
                  Error: in file macro line 11 column 81: meta command: array index out of bounds

                  File 0:/gcodes/Calibration Toolpath.gcode selected for printing
                  

                  BTW, when I click pause, the spinde keeps running and the XY stays where it is, not returning to the safe XY.

                    Yes, I thought I corrected that.

                    But now it's clear there's no tool selected when you are pausing.
                    Therefore none of the subsequent code can work as it relies on a tool being selected.
                    Is this a real job, or a dummy one?

                    I'm willing to bet this would work (if I haven't mage any syntax errors LOL)

                    ; pause.g
                    if state.currentTool = -1
                    	echo "No tool selected - selecting tool zero"
                    	T0
                    G1 Z{max(move.axes[2].userPosition+5,move.axes[2].max-5)} ; move the Z axis to a safe height
                    if {state.currentTool >= 0} & {tools[state.currentTool].spindleRpm >= 0}
                    	set global.savedSpindleSpeed = tools[state.currentTool].spindleRpm ; save current spindle speed
                    	G1 X273.5 Y560 F2400 ; move XY to a safe place
                    	M5 ; turn the spindle off
                    	echo "Spindle speed saved at " ^ { global.savedSpindleSpeed } ^ "RPM"
                    else
                    	echo "condition not met - Tool is ", state.currentTool, " Spindle RPM is ", tools[state.currentTool].spindleRpm
                    

                    EDIT
                    If this works then we need to know how many tools you have.

                        It's 5:51 AM here. I'm tired because I woke at 3am and couldn't get back to sleep 😧
                        Try it when you can and report back.

                          It works! And the spindle turns off with pause and on with resume!

                              OK,
                              So the problem was there was no tool selected.
                              I would have thought that was necessary to turn a spindle on, but maybe not.
                              If you have multiple tools then you'll need to consider how to store which tool was selected when you pause (if RRF doesn't store that in CNC mode)

                                @owend This is how my spindle is configured in config.g:

                                ; Makita and relay configuration
                                M950 R0 C"out1+out7" L0:18000	; enable router relay on out7
                                M563 P0 S"Makita" R0 		; assign spindle 0 to tool 0 and name it Makita
                                T0				; select tool 0
                                

                                This was only configured to turn the spindle off/on via a relay, but I figured I will need this resolved for when my speed-contollable milling motor turns up. My assumption is the speed thing isn't relevant as the DI isn't connected.

                                  What happens in the console when you run
                                  M98 P"0:/sys/config.g"

                                  You're selecting T0, so I'm at a loss why it's not selected in your job.
                                  Somewhere something is turning it off.

                                    @owend said in CNC Pause and Resume config files:

                                    M98 P"0:/sys/config.g"

                                    From the command line?

                                        Only this:

                                        27/05/2022, 21:02:24 M98 P"0:/sys/config.g"

                                        but I haven't 'rebooted' the Duet

                                          OK
                                          That error is normal if you haven't rebooted.

                                          I'm at a loss why you have no tool selected when pause.g begins unless RRF deselects it when G25 is run.

                                          I've been looking through the object model a bit and I think you can do away with teh global variable and use values from the object model.
                                          I'll post something to try in 5-10 minutes

                                            @owend If you're sure. I don't want to stress you (or me!) out trying to resolve this. I thought this would be easy 🤣 🤣

                                            I'm going back to the hous, but I'll update the files when you post the answer ( 🙂 ) and I'll try it out toorrow morning (my time).

                                            I'm really grateful for your time and help with this, @OwenD
