In the big docs pdf, I read that to access buttons created by pyvcp, one must add 'pyvcp.' to the names, so I took the halpin created names down to one word names in the xml file, then in postgui.hal, the net statements were fixed to use 'pyvcp.button1' style syntax, and it all seems to just work.
Now, to build a nice solid camera mount to hang off the bottom of the spindle brake collar, and I believe I'll have something that works. One item of note, I remember camview taking 5 seconds to fully update the image when the table was moved, so finding and fixing on the target was excruciatingly slow. Even with the signal processing opencv does to insert its target circle and crosshairs and measurement scales, opencv is managing to get 8 to 15 FPS depending on the light level, so I can search at 10 ipm, and fine tune at .7 without 95% of the lags that camview had. However, it is dragging on the base-thread timing when its running, I can hear the diff in speeds while its homing the machine. Since once it has done its job, it can be shut down, I do not consider that to be a showstopper unless software stepping is in use. 5i25 card in use here. That may be related to my seeing both cpus usage graphs in gkrellm, so I may not have isolcpus setup correctly on this dell dimension 745 computer. Huh? On checking grub.cfg, it is not anywhere in boot/grub/grub.cfg! I have not taken it out, this is as installed from the hybrid.iso, with the updated 3.4.9-rtai kernel. I put it in: isocpus=1 and rebooted, htop now can't see the 2nd core, so thats another potential problem solved. So of the rest of you may want to check your installs too! I am certainly going to check my other 2 machines... One of which, because I've miss-laid my round tuit IS software stepping yet despit having a 5i25 ready to be installed. My bad.
