Do you mean 'opposites'?

Hello,

What are the differences between "cantAbort" and "allowInterrupts"? They appear in the Dictionary to be complements of each other, except that in their default settings of False would appear to conflict.

thanks

Hello @jackyjoy123
The difference that I can see between these two properties.
It is that cantAbort is a property that will only affect one stack. Whereas allowInterrupts is a property that will affect all stacks. Since this last property is established to the motor and not to a stack. So we can say that if you set allowInterrupts to false, all stacks will behave as if their cantAbort is true. Now if allowInterrupts is true, stacks with cantAbort set to true will not allow their controllers to be interrupted. Well that's what I can understand, maybe I'm wrong and someone can help us understand this jjj

Setting the allowInterrupts property to false is functionally equivalent to setting the cantAbort property to true for each open stack.

AllowInterrupts also has a related function "interrupt" that tells you when a user tries to abort a handler. I didn't know that until now.
