Return to manual mode after MDI command

Hey Folks,

I have a glade panel which contains buttons which send MDI commands. The commands execute correctly but leave the machine in joint mode rather than telop mode. Is there a way of setting the mode back to telop after an mdi command has been run?

Thanks.

are you using the Action widgets for MDI?

Yes I am. I am using the toggle button linked to the MDI action toggle widget.
I am thinking that the solution may lie with a custom callback, but I am not sure where to start.

So, I had a fiddle around. I couldn't figure out how to change a hal pin from gladevcp so I did it using a system call to halcmd

Here is my code, now tell me how wrong it is :silly:
from subprocess import call
from time import sleep

class PanelHandlers:

    def reset_manual_and_teleop(args1,args2):
        call(["halcmd", "setp", "halui.mode.manual", "1"])
        call(["halcmd", "setp", "halui.mode.teleop",  "1"])
        sleep(1)
        call(["halcmd", "setp", "halui.mode.manual", "0"])
        call(["halcmd", "setp", "halui.mode.teleop", "0"])
    
def get_handlers(halcomp,builder,useropts):
    return [PanelHandlers()]

I suspect that this is a non-optimal approach, but it does seem to work.
