Re:pyVCP Online Documents was created by pleezwrite
Hi,
I have created a pyvcp with a led which should become green when machine reaches the X reference point.
The HALpins are as follows:
- LED: pyvcp.xref
- X ref switch: parport.0.pin-10-in
When I try to modify the custom_postgui halfile the software would not start anymore. I must have made mistakes when connecting the two halpins. How do you do it?
Regards,
Adam

I would assume you made some spelling error. It would help if you posted what you added.
Even though this board has little traffic I went ahead and split your question into a new topic just to see if the button worked...

Hi John,
As for the custom_postgui.hal I added the following line which does not seem to work well:
net parport.0.pin-10-in => pyvcp.x_ref_led

Ok, what is the code in your .xml file that you used to make the led?
Here is an example that would match your halpin:
<led>
<halpin>"x_ref_led"</halpin>
<size>50</size>
<on_color>"green"</on_color>
<off_color>"red"</off_color>
</led>
If you comment out the net line with # does the led show up? If not then we need to back up to the code that creates the led....

John and Alex,
I think this is exactly what I did but I copied below the XML and HAL files again that I used.
John, when I add the # symbol the led still shows up on the screen and EMC starts. when I delete the symbol EMC would not start anymore and comes up with that usual long error massage with some kernel information at the end.
Panel.xml:
<led>
<halpin>"xref"</halpin>
<size>50</size>
<on_color>"green"</on_color>
<off_color>"red"</off_color>
</led>
Custom_postgui.hal:
net X_reference_led pyvcp.xref <= parport.0.pin-10-in
Regards,
Adam

The error is this:
custom_postgui.hal:14: pin 'parport.0.pin-10-in' was already linked
That means you probably connected the pin 10 for something else using stepconf.
If you're sure you're not using, just put an "unlinkp parport.0.pin-10-in" before you do the 'net' to connect the parport pin to the pyvcp pin.

Alex
