[Emc-users] Pyvcp position number
I would like to add a PYVCP that shows the actual X, Y, and Z position but larger than the Axis gui does standard. I have a working PYVCP panel but I am having trouble picking the correct hook into hal. I used Xpos, Ypos and Zpos and it responds to the movement of the axis but they do not match position. Does anyone know the actual variable that will give me exactly what is shown on the Axis gui for X, Y and Z position?

HAL is used mostly for low level stuff - motor control, etc. It doesn't have access to things like g-code offsets, tool length offsets, and all the other interpreter-only things that affect position. I believe there is a way to make the displays in Acis bigger, you might want to check the wiki for that.

Re: [Emc-users] Pyvcp position number
I am using 2.2.5. I looked at the link thanks. It looks like they ended up with the same results I am seeing. When axis opens, the PYVCP position is set to zero but the axis position is remembered causing a difference. And tool offsets will probably cause the same problem. sam sokolik wrote: I think it should be there.. http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60199 Rayh added it IIRC.

Re: [Emc-users] M66 digital input control?
I think I would try pypvc first. Emory Smith wrote: For simulation, you could connect a few switches to the parport with appropriate pull-up resistors. You've probably got an old printer cable lying around that you could cut up and trace out (with an Ohmmeter) a few pins for ground, +5 and some inputs. While you're at it, you could also hang some LEDs on your test jig to let you know that X has happened (via an M code) and when to press a button, etc. Such a jig could be ugly and simple or as elaborate as you wish.

This works well for error handling but for a machine interface I would want it to wait w/o error handling. Is there a way to test this in one of the simulations. I don't have a working system in front of me right now to test it. I am not sure how I would simulate the input with out hardware?

My question is around the P words. Are you limited to P0 - P3 or can I continue with more P words like P4, P5, etc... if needed? Looks like you can have up to 64 digital ins/outs without recompiling. To set the number higher than 4 (the default), add num_dio=XX or num_aio=XX to your loadrt emcmot command. -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
