How to get GladeVCP or pyVCP buttons and indicators working

I've attempted to modify some existing Glade VCP and pyVCP panels to get the buttons and indicators to communicate with my hardware's IOs.

Here's where I'm at now:
pyVCP: Test_7i76_7i74_B4.02.03
The pyVCP panel will fire up the GS1 VFD I'm using over modbus but none of the other IOs are communicating with the panel
the glade

GladeVCP: Test_7i76_7i74_B4.02.05
None of the buttons and indicators will communicate

What am I missing?

you need to connect the pins inside the machine hal
as of external comunication i prefer to connect them in a postgui halfile so it is not at the machine base insted it is on the gui base

I don't know how to connect the pins in the hal. What does that look like?

Based on some other posts, I've changed this line in the hal file:
net pyvcp.in00 <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i70.1.1.input-00

To this (which crashes):
net din-00 <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i70.1.1.input-00
net din-00 => pyvcp.in00

surely it crashes with an error message that would help us to diagnose the problem.

Debug file information:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'ip_tables': Operation not permitted
iptables v1.6.0: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

So looking at ypur config -
you don't have any pyvcp loading command or pyvcp XML file
You do have a gladevcp load command and you do seem to have a gladevcp.ui file.

but you can't connect to pyvcp or gladevcp pins in the main HAL file as the vcp pins are not made yet; so get rid of those commands in Test_7i76_7i74_B4.02.03.hal

connect your gladevcp pins in gvcp_option.hal like you already have started to.

Try that and report back with new information please

Thanks for your help. The attached files work for the first few IOs that have been connected, the rest should follow suit.

So you are good? excellent.
I can't test your config cause I don;t have the hardware, but thanks for posting the whole thing faster then asking a million questions.
