self.command.mdi() - without self.command.wait_complete() was created by zz912

Hello,

I found:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/67b814...ccapy.py#L4285-L4291

    def on_btn_zero_g92_clicked(self, widget, data=None):
        self.command.mode(linuxcnc.MODE_MDI)
        self.command.wait_complete()
        self.command.mdi("G92.1")
        self.command.mode(linuxcnc.MODE_MANUAL)
        self.command.wait_complete()
        self.widgets.btn_touch.emit("clicked")

I think self.command.wait_complete() is missing here.
I think it should look like this:

    def on_btn_zero_g92_clicked(self, widget, data=None):
        self.command.mode(linuxcnc.MODE_MDI)
        self.command.wait_complete()
        self.command.mdi("G92.1")
        self.command.wait_complete()
        self.command.mode(linuxcnc.MODE_MANUAL)
        self.command.wait_complete()
        self.widgets.btn_touch.emit("clicked")

Is it a bug?
Can be self.command.mdi() without self.command.wait_complete()

The same situation is also here:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/67b814...ccapy.py#L4324-L4331
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/67b814...ccapy.py#L4342-L4346
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/67b814...ccapy.py#L4404-L4410

Maybe here:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/67b814...ccapy.py#L3010-L3018
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/67b814...ccapy.py#L4960-L4964

I don't think its an issue but I don't know the Python interface.
to my knowledge, Gcodes are buffered so it makes sese to me to only wait after the last gcode command (eg wait for the buffer to empty).

For example here, it is written as I think it is correct.

I have played in the past a lot with the command_wait_complete, and found that it had no effect to the GUI reactions, but that was in gmoccapy 1

So it might be worse to try with the actual code to add in all the mentioned cases the complete command.
If you have done that, just do make and please report back!

adding wait_complete before switching back to manual sounds right to me. Not doing it looks like a race condition to me.

Also I vaguely remember having a problem if I requested a mode that linuxcnc was already in.
It would cause odd problems that I now can't remember the details of.
I copied a function (from gladevcp) to checks the current mode and only changes it if required (and it waits for it to complete)

Hello,

I wanted to start experimenting with the self.command.wait_complete() function
I wanted to use the cooling button.
I added the following lines to the source code:

             self.command.mode(linuxcnc.MODE_MDI)
             self.command.wait_complete()
             self.command.mdi("G91 G1 X5 F10")
             self.command.wait_complete()
             self.command.mode(linuxcnc.MODE_MANUAL)
             self.command.wait_complete()

Unfortunately, it doesn't behave at all as I would imagine. Does anyone know why?

I solved it.
self.command.wait_complete() has time limit.
Sorry for the spam.

On the other hand, if self.command.wait_complete() times out, a warning message could be issued.

So, how much is the default time delay and can we adjust the time delay?
