So this hal-file approach does not work:
The last line tries to connect a RW parameter to the output of mux2 and fails.. (mux2 works fine).
I can change the parameter live from bash via
So I'm rather new to glade - but have other bits working. Is there a way to run a simple bash command from glade?
I understand why encoder.n.scale is a parameter and not a pin - (I'm guessing halcmd setp stops and restarts the component?) - Seems like I should be able to run a halcmd via glade?
I think I should do something like this in python:
This should be rather simple - but I'm not finding a halcmd example from gvcp..

You could import the hal module:
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/hal/halmodule.html#_set_p
I think it requires LinuxCNC 2.8 or later
import hal
hal.set_p('hm2_7i93.0.encoder.04.scale', '22')linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/hal/halmodule.html#_set_p
I think it requires LinuxCNC 2.8 or later

Might work? Not clear how to call the script? (It is also often not clear what works with pins vs parameters.) If I can call python, I can get it to work. (Sure wish I could find a working example of gvcp changing a parameter )
But it is not clear what file to modify to get the script called- almost has to be in gvcp-panel.ui ??
A working example of calling python or a shell command from gvp-panel.ui would get me where I need to be.
I need to act when the button is pressed and know the state of the toggle - and run the script.. There is a signals tab - that is for doing something on a gtk event - the 'handler' provides a dropdown list - perhaps I need to type the name of the script there? Or edit the gvcp-panel.ui file directly?

You need to add a python handler file to work with the glade file.
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/gui/gladevcp....gladevcp:programming
there is a sim config axis/gladevcp that shows this technique

The first code bit in the link has syntax errors -
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gui/gladevc..._callbacks_in_python
Looks like the -end of lines went missing..
Not sure who to tell this to so it can be corrected?

I did get this working:
Might be other ways to do it - but this is fairly simple/concise and works. (Took me forever to find the method I needed gtkobj.hal_pin.get() .. )
(I realized that this post ended up in the wrong catagory - should be in "User Interfaces/GladeVCP" but I don't see any way to move it. )
nhits = 0
sterr = ""
def on_high_gear_button_pressed(gtkobj,data=None):
global nhits
import os
if gtkobj.hal_pin.get() :
cmd = "/usr/bin/halcmd setp hm2_7i93.0.encoder.04.scale 22"
sterr = os.system(cmd)
else:
cmd = "/usr/bin/halcmd setp hm2_7i93.0.encoder.04.scale 248.8571"
sterr = os.system(cmd)Might be other ways to do it - but this is fairly simple/concise and works. (Took me forever to find the method I needed gtkobj.hal_pin.get() .. )
