Python interface states of the home switches?

Python interface states of the home switches? was created by bladekel
Hello to all,
I'm creating a new GUI and I need to get the state of a home switch to light on the hal_led.
I can get the state of estop like;
self.led_estop.set_active(not self.s.estop)
Is there any way to get the home switches states like estop ?

Not sure about the state of home inputs the same way as you are looking at e-stop. But it is trivial to get the state of a hal pin and since your home switches are or are connected to hal pins there you go.

No at the moment there is no way to directly read a HAL pin with python.
You can make a python component that you can connect to a HAL signal with:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/hal/halmodule.html
then you can read the signal.
I do have code to add this capability - hopefully it will be added to master.

I guess I don't understand. How is it am I making, monitoring and controlling hal pins with the python file for my Gladevcp then?

I assume you are making a python component with it's own pins and connecting those pins to other pins you are interested in, so as to read or write.
That's different from just reading a pin directly (like using halmeter) without connecting to it.

An example of the new way would be:
Chris M
import hal
actual_spindle_rpm = hal.get_value('motion.spindle-speed-in') * 60Chris M

Hi Chris.
I get "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get_value'" error by this method....

Sorry i wasn't clear - I haven't pushed the code to master yet.
If you are using 2.7.x then this will never work.
If you are using master I could cherry pick the code and push to master in a day or so.

Then the practical thing to do is to (as Todd mentioned) create HAL pins for your screen and connect them to the signals/pins you are interested in.
