radius/diameter programming and hal was created by tcoleman978

Is there a Secret Squirrel pin to determine the state of operation radius/diameter programming(G7/G8) in hal?
I want to tweek my Lathe MPG and need something to feed the mux select pin with.
I don't seem to know what to ask for cause the search comes up with literally nothing.
Oh and Happy New Years.

I don't think there is a hal pin that reflects the state of G7/G8 but you could run a custom component to create such pins. If you want to try this create a file 'linuxcnc-status.py' in your machine config and make it executable. Then add the line 'loadusr python linuxcnc-status.py' to your hal and start your config. Open the 'Show hal configuration' tool and you should find the pins under 'linuxcnc-status'

#!/usr/bin/env python
# to load this in in hal:
#    loadusr python linuxcnc-status.py

import sys
import hal
import linuxcnc

# Make a component and pins
h = hal.component("linuxcnc_status")
h.newpin("g7-is-active", hal.HAL_BIT, hal.HAL_OUT)
h.newpin("g8-is-active", hal.HAL_BIT, hal.HAL_OUT)
h.ready()

# test connection to linuxcnc
try:
    s = linuxcnc.stat() # create a connection to the status channel
    s.poll() # get current values
except Exception as e:
    print("error ", e)
    sys.exit(1)

# loop
while 1:

# get current values
    s.poll()

# Handle absolute / incremental (G90/G91) linuxcnc.stat.gcodes[6]
    if s.gcodes[15] == 70:
        h['g7-is-active'] = 1
        h['g8-is-active'] = 0
    elif s.gcodes[15] == 80:
        h['g7-is-active'] = 0
        h['g8-is-active'] = 1
    else :
        h['g7-is-active'] = 0
        h['g8-is-active'] = 0

YOU can also find this value in the state_tags structure in real time
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...tion/state_tag.h#L46
YOu just have to get it out!
I think defining the relevant high level structure containing it could be done in a component
struct emcmot_command_t github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...on.h#L206C13-L206C36

BAM! worked like a charm, Thank you. Got me playing with the gmoccapy file itself and tweked the actual DRO display so that when in radius mode the diameter DRO is blank and while in diameter mode the diameter display reads X(radius blank) ........ like my Haas at work........
OOhhhh the rabbit holes.....

I understand what you are getting at. I use C+ with the Teensy's and ESP's.
But I think that is deeper than I can go right now.
Just starting to understand the layers as they stand. Heck just figured out that gmoccapy is mostly one big glade? and the whole thing is a cooperation of C+ and Python.........Linux has been my biggest hurdle just found doc's I didn't n
know were in there.
Thank you again and have a great New Year.

HI as in the request above I would like to create pins that indicate when I am in G54 or G55 if I copy your file I can see the pins in Show hal configuration with the changes to your file it doesn't even create the component... I don't even see the "original" pins my edited file

ps how do I put the file inside the box, as I have seen in other posts?

I tried and it doesn't work
does not create the component
you only changed from [15] to [8] in my edit; but what does it mean and where can I find the references?

Works for me though (on 2.9.1). Maybe try to start your config from the terminal and check for errors.
The line:
print(s.gcodes)
should give you an updating printout of the 'gcodes' list. The active work offset is in list item 8, while G7/G8 is in list item 15.
