[Emc-users] Hal Configurator Screenshots
Well I made pretty good progress on this program this weekend. Essentially its one of many parts i'm making to make LinuxCNC setup a more user friendly experience. The Mach3 user's won't have anything to say about setup when im finished. I plan to build a LinuxCNC Main gui with seperate applications wether it be configuration for a milling machine or something completely custom. As of right now, that will include a new and improved Stepper motor setup, including closed loop tuning, a improved servo tuning interface, a Hal signal linker/paramter setting, that will open and revise .hal files, without making changes to whats been done. Simply select a component from the list, click out an out pin, if its float all of the eligible float in pins will be active to select, click on one or many in pins. Have it either auto generate a net signal name based on an abbrievated outpin such as siggen.0.sine would be siggen-sine. There will be a better latency testing tool, that will put your system under various user selectable stress levels. No longer requiring you to put it under a load. It will open windows, open glx gears, move windows around, add text to a text editor scroll up and down, launch a few web browser's send a large fake packet over ethernet and what ever else i can think of. I also plan on adding a .comp IDE, making it very simple to write and install hal components. Lastly a better gui designer essentially simplifying gladevcp even more. Let me know what you think if you have any request i would be glad to hear them.

Re: [Emc-users] Hal Configurator Screenshots
As long as it challenges me then i will stick with it, so i make no guarantee's. Its a problem i have, i get started on a project and i enjoy it because its new and challenging. But once i figure it out i get bored with it and it sits until i return to work on it again, but usually i start something new.

That will be a helpful improvement over the all or nothing we have now. I think most of us are more or less used to vim or gedit to do this stuff, possibly fine tuning the live system with halconfig, but we still have to remember the values if we want to make them permanent. Neither vim nor gedit checks for naming clashes, or cares how we spell what s/b two copies of a signal name.

How are you interrogating the components for pin names? Bear in mind that the range of components is continually growing, and some have different pinouts depending on startup options. bldc is a rather extreme example of this. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [Emc-users] Hal Configurator Screenshots
This is all being done with halcmd, and i piped the stderr and stdout too files, that i monitor. Im using hlcmd -s show pin for the pins, then i read the lines separate the relevant information like dir, type, name, and discard the rest. For the setup i am parsing the .comp files and adding optional cfg based on the component. I wanted it to work no mater how many times you changed, or installed a component, or loaded several different of the same components. I didn't want to have to keep updating it when ever something new was added to the wiki. if you hover over the component with your mouse the manual information is displayed, also if it missed something in the .comp file, i parse the stderr for the line that starts with the component. such as as STEPGEN: ERROR: no count added, then it places a text entry box below the combo box with a label next to it labeled count. Python has pretty easy file reading and OS capturing libraries. Last night i spent the final two hours writing a auto screen capture program, takes a screen print at the specified interval, you can also declare what window to take pictures of so it will pause if you tab out or switch windows. but that's a whole seperate topic.
