i want to create a button at EMC2-Axis (Axis_mm.ini) and the button can execute my "program.py"
can someone help me? how to build this ??
i've already configure this all things :
STEP 1
make a int.xml file --> place at the same place with the axis_mm.ini file
<pyvcp>
<button>
<text>"program"</text>
<halpin>"program"</halpin>
</button>
</pyvcp>
STEP 2
make a intpostgui.hal file --> place at the same place with the axis_mm.ini file
net btn1 halui.mdi-command-00 <= pyvcp.program
STEP 3
configure the axis_mm.ini
[DISPLAY]
pyvcp = int.xml
[HAL]
HALUI = halui
add section:
[HALUI]
MDI_COMMAND = M101
STEP 4
make a M101 file (already setting execute file) --> place at a NC_files
#!bin/bash
# file to turn on paraport pin 14 to open the collet closer
halcmd setp parport.0.pin-14-out True
exit 0
is there anything WRONG or INCOMPLETE at this STEP ??
please explain me step by step...... >.<

Please go back to the beginning, and instead of blindly following the magic incantations, try to understand what the example files do.
It is no good expecting an example that shows how to open a collet closer using a parallel port to magically run your python code. You need to understand what that file is doing, and modify it to do what you want (in this case to run your python program)

what is a relationship between this section :
1. net btn1 halui.mdi-command-00 <= pyvcp.program
2. M101 file --> placed at nc_files
#!bin/sh
why i still cant link the button to my "program.py" ?

The confusion might be because the HAL pin which changes state when you press the button is called "program", but that does not in any way link it to the python file of the same name.
Please read these links, in this order, but don't just take the examples and use them, all you need is a read-through to get a feel for the structure.

(Sorry, it is quite a lot of information)
What you should have so far is a system of links in Pyvcp, Hal and Halui that results in the file "M101" being run. You need to make that "M101" file run your python file. The current M101 is set up to run just like the command line, so anything you put in the file will execute exactly as it would if you typed it in the terminal window. What do you type in the terminal window to run your python file?

i'm adding another button and having this problem.i'm trying to get the offset of X
custom_postgui.hal:12: Signal 'x-offset' of type 'float' cannot add pin 'pyvcp.x-offset' of type 'bit'
in the link i have and the button shows in axis
net x-offset halui.tool.length_offset.x <= pyvcp.x-offset
all looks ok to me, but i think i need something besides pyvcp.x-offset.
can't find anything about floats and bits. and in the docs, list of pins
have
halui.tool.length-offset.x minus sign
but i found in the hal config
halui.tool.length_offset.x underscore
so i know i have the pin right. just don't know if the end of the
link will always end in pyvcp.?????-?????
THANKS
p.s. i'm trying to make a pin in xml file, but isn't pin halui.tool.length_offset.x
used to output something. so i need to change my xml file to something besides button ?

i've found <number> </number>, but it doesn't
display the offset. just 0.0

That sounds like an error in the docs. The Hal Config screen will always be correct.list of pins
have
halui.tool.length-offset.x minus sign
but i found in the hal config
halui.tool.length_offset.x underscore
