Waiting for a signal - mine not working was created by mariusl
Hi
I am using this piece of code to read a signal and then wait for it to change:
M100
waitfor
It looks like the code never enters the loop but I have no way of telling. It will exit and turn the signal of right away.
I am using this piece of code to read a signal and then wait for it to change:
M100
#!/bin/sh
halcmd sets ladder_in 1
~/linuxcnc/nc_files/waitfor ladder_out 1
halcmd sets ladder_in 0waitfor
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# != 2 ]; then
echo usage: $0 SignalName DesiredValue
exit 1
fi
signal=$1
value=$2
while :; do
set -- $(halcmd -s show sig $signal)
if [ x"$2" == x"$value" ]; then
exit 0
fi
sleep 1

Hi John
This is just a small piece of code to test why the rest dont work. I have a number of tools and things on the machine that takes various times to open and close. The functions are called via M1xx codes. There are about 10 of them. These are also integrated with a complex ladder logic circuit.
I am using this piece of code (that I got from the wiki) as it seems to be convenient to do it that way. I will program the M codes into the post processor so the customer will not have to remember where to put what. The rest of the machine is already very complex to operate.
P.S. I have not used the M66 before so I cant comment on why not

In that case why not have the complete function in the M1xx code? Is ladder_in a signal or a pin?

ladder_in is a signal. None of the pins are connected directly as they are shared with manual buttons on the vcp as well as some components. So all the manipulation happens on signals or ladder outputs (signals as well).

I tried to run the M100 in the terminal from the same location where both the files are and then I get an error that "waitfor cannot be found". Any ideas on this?

Yes use ./waitfor to execute a file that is not in the bin directory.

I do just that and then this error comes up
bash: ./waitfor: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
these are the permissions
-rwxrwxr-x 1 marius marius 257 2013-03-07 15:44 waitfor
bash: ./waitfor: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
these are the permissions
-rwxrwxr-x 1 marius marius 257 2013-03-07 15:44 waitfor

I copied the waitfor text to an empty file and saved it as waitfor in the home directory. I opened a terminal and typed in chmod +x waitfor then ls to confirm the file is an executable then typed in ./waitfor and got the expected usage message.
Is the bin bash line the first line in the file? Have you opened the file on a windoze computer?

I could have brought it over from a Windoze machine but I cannot remember any more. Anyway I did like you did and the thing is running in the terminal now. I will test it again on my simulator.
