Tool Velocity was created by JT
I'm trying to figure out how to display the actual tool velocity in at least the XY plane. For example if the tool is moving in the X direction at 10 IPM and in the Y direction at 20 IPM what is the formula to figure out the tool velocity?

I think you need to read joint.N.pos-fb for X & Y and save the last position and calc the distance moved in fperiod
If both pins have a value, use pythagoras therom to calulate the velocity (C in this diagram)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem
otherwise report the value for the moving axis.
Note if X& Y are both at max velocity, the actual velocity will be higher because the hypotenuse is longer than the x & Y elements

If you want the the tool velocity (X,Y,Z) you can use motion.current-vel
If you want just X,Y as rodw says you can use Pythagoras
(see the hypot hal component)

The status velocity:
The axis velocity only returns the jogging velocity for each axis
The joint velocity works all the time
What I came up with is to use the joint velocity and some math.
Seems to work and mirror what Axis reports.

I should have mentioned that this is using the Python Interface and motion.current-vel is not a status item.If you want the the tool velocity (X,Y,Z) you can use motion.current-vel
If you want just X,Y as rodw says you can use Pythagoras
(see the hypot hal component)
The status velocity:
[b]velocity[/b]
[i](returns float)[/i] - This property is defined, but it does not have a useful interpretation.The axis velocity only returns the jogging velocity for each axis
[b]velocity[/b]
[i](returns float)[/i] - current velocity.The joint velocity works all the time
[b]velocity[/b]
[i](returns float)[/i] - current velocity.What I came up with is to use the joint velocity and some math.
# two joint velocity
for key, value in parent.two_vel.items():
vel_0 = getattr(parent, 'status').joint[value[0]]['velocity']
vel_1 = getattr(parent, 'status').joint[value[1]]['velocity']
vel = sqrt((vel_0 * vel_0) + (vel_1 * vel_1))
getattr(parent, key).setText(f'{vel * 60:.{value[2]}f}')
# three joint velocity
for key, value in parent.three_vel.items():
vel_0 = getattr(parent, 'status').joint[value[0]]['velocity']
vel_1 = getattr(parent, 'status').joint[value[1]]['velocity']
vel_2 = getattr(parent, 'status').joint[value[2]]['velocity']
vel = sqrt((vel_0 * vel_0) + (vel_1 * vel_1) + (vel_2 * vel_2))
getattr(parent, key).setText(f'{vel * 60:.{value[3]}f}')Seems to work and mirror what Axis reports.
