Saving parameters after shut down

Yes I know all about that. I started that thread.

Oops :blush: Mind like a sieve, I spent the last 2/3rds of the thread talking to Big Alex and had forgotten it was your request originally.

Glad you are finding it useful, after original reservations I am glad I did it too, have used it a couple of times already.

Hey, cant blame you. So many things at the same time and a whole lot of moaning users taboo.

The pyvcp is now just what the layman needed to make it more usable. I think one can get very creative with labels to make the GUI more friendly.

ArcEye, cant get this parameter file of yours to work. It compiles happily but does bugger all further. I cant seem to get any data from any of the pins. Even if I hard code it. It seems that it does not fall into the while loop. Maybe something with the signal stuff?

Hi

I didn't realise that was what you were using, it was just a back of an envelope demo of what I was speaking about.
I said at the time I had not tested it (albeit I had used something similar before)

Let me know how many pins of what type (bit, s32, float) you want to connect to and read / write and I will look at it tomorrow

regards

ArcEye
I realized it was just a demo. It was the closest thing that I could find that would do what I wanted, Well almost.

I am looking at saving and retrieving three floats. Basically three spin box settings for the THC. velocity_tolerance, volt_setting and volt_tolerance.

This becomes automatic with an on_destroy option set up in GladeVCP.

If you look in this thread: www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum...ility?start=40#33860

There is a panel already set up with three spinboxes that retain values on shut-down. You could just change the labels.
