How to connect hal pins to custom GUI? was created by bladekel
Hello to all.
I'm trying to build a custom GUI with pyqt5 for raspberryPi 5.
My linuxCNC version is 2.9.3, python version is 3.11.2.
I wanted to watch a input pin status whenever it changes.
I create a net in my hal file.
After I created this net, I can see the pin and its changing logic from hal show with axis GUI.
I examined the qtplasmac_sim_handler.py and tried to make connections as on it.
Here is my custom GUI's handler file
with this setup I cant see any changes. It only fires one time "Changed", and after that there is no information...
My guide qtplasmac_sim_handler.py did like I was...
What is my fault?

This is not correct syntax to connect two pins in hal:
Correct syntax is (<= and => are optional and are only to improve readability)
net somePin hal_gpio.PIN33-inCorrect syntax is (<= and => are optional and are only to improve readability)
net some-signal-name <= hal_gpio.PIN33-in => somePin

I tried this but I got an error like
./my-mill.hal:57: Pin 'somePin' does not exist
./my-mill.hal:57: Pin 'somePin' does not exist

use the 'show Halconfiguration' tool to find the correct pin name (something like 'qtplasmac.somePin')

If you're creating a custom GUI have a look at Flex GUI as that is exactly what it's made for.

You probably need the command in a postgui hal file as the pin won't exist until the gui is created.I tried this but I got an error like
./my-mill.hal:57: Pin 'somePin' does not exist
