need help wired behavior of comp pin does not exis was created by tkamsker
I am writing (and learning ) a tool changer component being a developer helps in that case. But i encountered a very strange behavior
I did stop with my first writing and used an existing component which had much better debouncing and error handling then mine ,..
i am verry happy so far but ,..
i configured the pins in the hal file as expected and gives me an xxx pin does not exist.
it was there i looked even in the ko file.
i then translated the pin name in german (my mother language) did an change all in gedit
and now it works but mentions then 4th pin
has anyone had such behavior ?
look at maschineistan was machine_on
looks like
component ncarouselatc "This component controls an Bridgeport 412 Interact type carousel Tool Changer - iocontrol calls this";
// pin in bit carousel_change "Request a tool change ";
pin in bit turncarousel "Receives signal to start turning";
pin in float reqpocketnumber "The pocketnumber of the desired new tool. Range is to the turret-capacity param";
pin in bit qd_complete "Reset signal from the Quickdraw Tool Changer that the current operation is completeThis input is debounced. The reset output from the tool changer is pulsed each time a pocket passes into position.";
pin in bit maschineistan "Receives signal to start turning";
pin in bit qd_auto "Indication that the tool changer is in auto mode. This input is debounced.";
pin in bit magindex "Indication of pocket 1 debounced";
pin in bit magcount "Linked to every tool -> proximity";
pin in bit error_reset "Clears any error condition. Normally wired to an operator error-reset button.";
/* Pins to control the Quickdraw hardware */
pin out bit toolmagturnright "Turret-CW command to the tool changer. Asserting this output causes the tool-changer hardware to move the carousel clockwise (decreasing pocket numbers)";
pin out bit toolmagturnleft "Turret-CCW command to the tool changer. Asserting this output causes the tool-changer hardware to move the carousel counterclockwise (increasing pocket numbers). ";
pin out bit carousel_home_command "Turret-Home command to the tool changer. This should be connected to the Blue wire of the M-Function cable (pin 6 of connector J7). Asserting this output
and now it mentions qd_complete does not exist !!!!
thx in advance

HAL pins normally use "-" instead of "_" (but the associated variables in C swap them to "_" just to make things more confusing.
Is it possible that the HAL is referring to "qd-complete"? Or, perhaps there is an attempt to link the pin before the component is loaded.
You can test the comp at the command line, to see exactly what pins it exports:Make sure that the component name (first line of the comp) and comp file name match, otherwise strange behaviour happens.

now it mentions qd_complete does not exist

And you are the boss
yesterday i was really verry desperate !!
show pin
Component Pins:

coming from source like

pin in bit maschineistan "Receives signal to start turning";
pin in bit qd_auto "Indication that the tool changer is in auto mode. This input is debounced.";
pin in bit magindex "Indication of pocket 1 debounced";
lerning for me don't use - or _
right ?
thank you so much
