How to get HAL variable to G-code

Hi, all.

I make pyvcp panel, where I can write some variables, correspondly to topic SPINBOX DATA to G-Code VariableSPINBOX DATA to G-Code Variable

Now, when I try to get value of the pin (debug, #_hal[<pyvcp.Hlen>]) , I get ####.
But If I write directly to (debug, #_hal[<pyvcp.spinbox.0.pin_param>]). Everything OK.
Why it so?

My aim is to set values from pyvcp xml panel and to run it in g-code.It's hard to debug g-code, if I will use values "spinbox.0.pin_param", etc.

Have you read this?

linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/remap/remap...ap:referto-hal-items

I know it is in an obscure location, also look at the preceding sections for related info and cautions. I use this in my Gcode files all the time to get operational parameters from my GUI.

Thanks a lot, it's working.

Proble was in upper case letters. HAL command works only with lower case letters.

as you may come from WIN
Please do all Files Naming in lowercase
no space use underscore
linux may thank you by giving a better system
ALL outside the software in Base OperationSystem shoudt be no extra letters used also (-+*#)

WHY dont you use a NGCgui option for your parameters to set
see Eyamples ngcgui from the mashine menue
entry and one button press generates g-code

Thanks for your post, I didn't know about NGCGUI till now.
