Hallo, I am using the python interface a lot for my GUI gmoccapy, but I am facing a problem.
In the info box of the screen, I display also the values for feed and speed, so you will see values like S 2000 and F 250. For the spindle speed I do use self.stat.spindle_speed, as this returns the value of the actual line of code or the actual MDI command, and if that value is zero, I can get information from self.stat.settings[2], as it contains the value witch will be applied if the user presses the spindle start button. So this part is clear. But how to do the same for feed? There is no self.stat.feed_value. self.stat.settings[1] will return the read ahead value, so you will not even get any reliable information, as the interpreter has finished read ahead before the program even starts. The documentation says "returns the current interpreter settings for spindle speed and feed rate, but that is not correct, because you do not get the current values, you get the values the interpreter has read already. self.status.current_vel gives you the velocity including override values and not the commanded feed and if you jog and you have no F value set, you will get a result, what is correct. Then I tried self.stat.command to get the currently executed command and check from there if an F value is included, but you get only the read ahead values! This is not what I want, I want to get feed as it is handled for the spindle, status.spindle_speed returns the spindle speed value without the override and not the read ahead one! So how toi get the F value of the actual handled code line, not read ahead. I tried to find and understand the C code, but got am lost. Could somebody please take a look and and a status.feed_value?
