ESTL Cam Pause ignored

Software / Firmware EstlCAM

Hi,

I am new to CNC and have been building a few simple things, however am at the point where I would like to do some tool changes. I used some code I found on here but when I compile the gcode and run it, when it gets to the pause line it appears to just skip it and continue on, which does not allow me to physically change the tool. I’m not sure if someone can please point me in the right direction?

If I type in the pause manually it appears to work. Also please note that I do not have a touch panel, I do everything from the web interface.

Thanks!

Your M00 commands have the semi colon in the wrong place

Should be M00; change…

Also, you should probably do a re-home of X and Y after as well (in case you inadvertently move the core when changing the tool)
