 Additionally, whenever the myCNC player stops running G-code, the %%__HANDLER_GCODE_STOP%% Software PLC (which is continuously running in the background) will be activated. This handler (along with the other Software PLC handlers) allows to monitor for some event, such as stopping a G-code run, and having some code be executed after the event has occurred. By default, the %%__HANDLER_GCODE_STOP%% simply consists of the following code: Additionally, whenever the myCNC player stops running G-code, the %%__HANDLER_GCODE_STOP%% Software PLC (which is continuously running in the background) will be activated.

-Therefore, in default configuration, this handler will simply activate, do nothing and then close. However, in situations where it is necessary to add a command which will activate whenever the G-code run has stopped, %%__HANDLER_GCODE_STOP%% can be altered. For example, the code can be changed to look the following way if it is necessary, for example, to turn off the output port #3 when the run is stopped:+{{:mycnc:stop-end-005-handler.png}}

-In non-default configurations, there can be a number of outputs/inputs being set and cleared upon program stop. Often, when issues arise with the ports being set and cleared seemingly at random upon program start/stop, it is an issue with port set / port clear code being left over in the M02, OFF, and %%__HANDLER_GCODE_STOP%% commands. +In non-default configurations, there can be a number of outputs/inputs being set and cleared upon program stop.
