Well if you don't think it's worth your time and effort, I will certainly never make it work. It is however, valuable to me as a way to learn some python and it's role in gtk panels. I don't see a specific place to post python questions so I hope I can pose it here.
Here is a snippet from the main python module:
self.lc = self.linuxcnc.command()
--- then a whole bunch of stuff ----
def jog_x_plus_press(self, widget, event):
if self.check_machine_state() == 'STATE_ON':
# self.lc.jog(self.linuxcnc.JOG_CONTINUOUS, 0, 0, float(self.x_jog)) <-- doesn't work
axis_num = 0
self.lc.jog(self.linuxcnc.JOG_CONTINUOUS, 0, axis_num, float('{}{}'.format('+', self.x_jog)))
I consistently get this from the terminal:
<type 'tuple'>
(11, 'JOG_CONT command.com !teleop bad joint_num cmd=47\n')
JOG_CONT command.com !teleop bad joint_num cmd=47
I modified the jog command statement to reflect the way it is done in hazzy, but I must be doing something wrong, but can't figure what. Any ideas?

My very first encounter with python (and programing in general) was when I was trying to get CraftsmanCNC working. I had just learned about LinuxCNC, and, being a Mach fan (sigh), liked the familiar look of the UI. I had no previous experience with linux or coding so it was a steep learning curve, but boy was it worth it. So, by all means, study and hack on CraftsmanCNC, you will learn a lot!
First off, CraftsmamCNC will not work with 2.8~pre without significant modification. Hazzy on the other hand only works with 2.8~pre, so much of the code will not be directly comparable between the two. It looks like you are using 2.8~pre because `teleop` is mentioned in the error log.
Here is a comparison of the jog commands in 2.7 and 2.8:
2.7
2.8~prewere `joint-jog` is true for joint jog, or false for axis jog.
The error complains about a `bad joint_num cmd=47`, so what I think is happening it that you are somehow passing the jog-velocity (47) as the joint-number. Check that the format of the jog commands is correct.
Hope that helps,
Kurt

Was there ever a solution to this? I'm running 2.8~pre and am getting the same error with the following:

If you are running 2.8~pre that is correct and should not give any errors. Are you certain you are running 2.8? As I mentioned previously, CraftsmamCNC would need a significant amount of modification to make it work with 2.8.
What I like to do to troubleshoot in this type of situation is run the commands in the python interpreter to isolate any problems.
LinuxCNC has to be running, but it does not matter what GUI.
Open a terminal and set up the environment
If you have LCNC 2.8 installed system wide than you can open a terminal anywhere.
If you have 2.8~pre installed as a RIP (Run In Place), then open a terminal in the RIP dir and set up the environment by running
Run the commands in question
If you watch the gremlin back-plot in axis you will see that the tool moves and there are no error messages.
Cheers,
Kurt

Thanks Kurt! Another user, dgarrett, provided the following solution:
>>
The message (`bad joint_num cmd=47) is poor but it means you have attempted to jog an
axis coordinate but are not in the *required* teleop mode.
In the master branch (2.8~pre) axis coordinates and joint numbers
must be handled properly for the current teleop mode.
In many situations, joint jogging is never required as one
homes the machine and all subsequent axis coordinate jogs
can be done in teleop mode.
The python interface provides:
teleop_enable()
to set/unset teleop mode.
Ref: linuxcnc.org/docs/master/html/config/python-interface.html
Commit to improve message:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commit/8259...dc46e30136c6979c8e25
Note:
Some guis (notably axis) hide the distinctions of joints and
axis coordinates when using identity kinematics. When using
trivkins (identity kinematics), setting kinstype=Both can help
to clarify joint/axis coodinate usage.
For a demonstration using identity kinematics with multiple
joints assigned to a single axis coordinate (XYZY), run and
experiment with the simulation config:
Sample Configurations/sim/axis/gantry

btw, I'm not the one running the CraftsmanCNC. I had just searched for "bad joint_num=47" and came upon this thread.
Thanks again for your reply! I'm sure I'll make use of your debugging suggestion.

Hi,
For 2.8 i have tested config : XXYZ today.
in python this works for double motors on X axis, Y axis is included to see difference in program code.
Joint 1 and 2 are x motors. they are moving together with one button command in the python code, this is tested in real life.
It was very confusing to make this correct, because documentation is very limited for custom gui design.
If you want to move joint 1, x motor 1, the code would be a little different :
x motor 1 : self.c.jog(linuxcnc.JOG_CONTINUOUS, 1, 0, (self.widgets.jog_speed.get_value()/60))
If you want to move joint 2, x motor 2, the code would be a little different :
x motor 2 : self.c.jog(linuxcnc.JOG_CONTINUOUS, 1, 1, (self.widgets.jog_speed.get_value()/60))
(the 1. is moving in joint's) 0, 1, 2 ....
(the 0 is for moving in x or y or z, cartasian way)

tripwire: Thanks for posting Dewey's, as always, excellent explanation! It had not even crossed my mind that the error was caused by not being in teleoperating mode. That explains why I was having trouble duplicating it, as the first thing I do when I start LCNC is home and switch to coord or teleop mode. I should have mentioned that in my previous post, but I do it so automatically that I don't even think about it!
Grotius: Thank you for taking the time to prepare and post such a complete code snip, it is very helpful!
Cheers,
Kurt

Hi,
Okey i forgot one thing. In the past i had problem's with multiple homing commands.
Now for homing all axis with one button this works also multiple homing commands good :
Good luck !

Grotius, if the home sequences are specified in the INI then self.c.home(-1) should home all in the home sequence specified. It is not advisable to hard code the home sequence.
