Subroutine GUI

i was thinking about this and remembered i need to "link" the pins:huh: ?
i forgot the file i added the link into. was it axis.hal ?



[HAL]
HALFILE = Axis.hal
HALFILE = custom.hal
POSTGUI_HALFILE = custom_postgui.hal

[HALUI]
MDI_COMMAND = G0 X0 Y0 Z0

got error



Debug file information:
custom.hal:6: Pin 'halui.mdi-command-00' does not exist
16078

NP, REALLY appreciate the time and help !

Debug file information:
custom_postgui.hal:6: Pin 'halui.mdi-command-00' does not exist

can i add pin(s) by

....... ....halui-mdi-command-01 .......
....... ....halui-mdi-command-02 .......
....... ....halui-mdi-command-03 .......
an so forth ?
as long as i have 'pins'

:

THANKS

so they're three files i need to work with to get buttons ?
this gives me a great start.....THANKS

and can i add buttons(s) by

....... ....halui-mdi-command-01 .......
....... ....halui-mdi-command-02 .......
....... ....halui-mdi-command-03 .......
an so forth ?
as long as i have 'pins'

i'm trying to get it to home(i think of homing as zeroing XYZ)
without moving the table. is this possible with pyvcp ?

cool i will.

can i get an example somewhere of more then on button ?

i have this in custom_postgui.hal;

# MDI commands
# rapid to home button
net remote-rapid-home halui.mdi-command-00 <= pyvcp.rapid-to-home

# home all button
net remote-home-all halui.mdi-command-01 <= pyvcp.home-all

but it tells me pyvcp.home-all doesn't exist.
i'm guessing i'm naming something in the second button wrong.

i have this in xml;

<pyvcp>
<button>
<halpin>"home-all"</halpin>
<text>"Home All"</text>
<font>('Helvetica',10)</font>
</button>
</pyvcp>

if i could see the pin naming format better, it would help.
