Hi, I made a GUI for the FlexPendant using Screen maker, which runs fine until I realise that if we press the stop button on the FlexPendant while it is running a routine (after pressing a runRoutineButton from the GUI), we can’t continue from program pointer using the GUI anymore. I am aware that if I go to that stopped routine and press start again, it would work as I expected. But what I am after is to have a button in the GUI itself that would let me to continue that stopped routine. Is there any way to do this? Thanks. ---

Create a button and bind it to a RAPID output that is cross connected to a system Program Start Input. One HUGE caveat, the previous will only work in Auto.
