hal_spinbutton

is there a way to set a default value to the hal scale bar ?
i set it in value under the 'adjustment property'
but emc2.5 starts at zero.

Thanks

Hi, There's an issue in glade 3.6.7
you have to edit manually your .ui file to put the line with value, not as first into 'adjustment' but as last.

ciao, Davide

this is what it looks like now. do i add another 'property name' with 'initial value' .
usually stay away from editing by hand.

<object class="GtkAdjustment" id="Jog_Scale">
<property name="value">18</property>
<property name="upper">20</property>
<property name="page_increment">0.10000000000000001</property>
</object>

Thanks

don't worry, is simple, and it is a well known issue, change your object class to be this:

<object class="GtkAdjustment" id="Jog_Scale">
<property name="upper">20</property>
<property name="page_increment">0.10000000000000001</property>
<property name="value">18</property>
</object>

That's all. You'll resolve this installing a newer glade, but sincerely i tried and found it difficoult. (on 10.04)
If you can do it, please report.
Davide.

EDIT: are you sure that's the correct value for page_increment?

COOL. yeap, that fix it. THANKS dab77

with a little testing i found it doesn't stay when i restart emc2.5 after
changing the value in glade.
if i go back to the ui and change one of properties' position, it
works again.

Yes, unfortunately it's like that.

also, i have one MDI button. if i click it (works) then try another button, they
don't work til i home and axis or run the program
so i added another button and the same results. after clicking on
the mdi buttons, i can't move any axis til i run or home an axis

reset is MDI command m123(reset script)
Rapid X0 Y0 Z.2 = g0 x0 y0 z.2



just to let ya'll know

Thanks
