Issues Remaping M6

I am remapping M6 using a pure python remap.

I have referenced and modified the code that bevins published on his github and referenced in this thread.

forum.linuxcnc.org/10-advanced-configura...sons-learned?start=0

I have changed my INI file to have the following entries.

Linuxcnc starts without issue with the REMAP=M6 line commented out.
With that line uncommented I get the following error

This is when the qtvcp gui is first loading.
The gui then does not respond to linuxcnc or hal.

Attached is the remap file that I am trying to use. I have commented out most of the code and it still does not work.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Is the file executable?

does bring up the Python command line? If it does, what version does it tell you it is on the first line?

Which LinuxCNC version?

Andy,

It was not executable. I change the file remap.py to be executable. Still same issue.

there is no /usr/bin/env folder

/usr/bin python

returns

Python 2.7.16 (default, Oct 10 2019, 22:02:15)
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Linuxcnc version 2.8.2

If you have no /usr/bin/env then you probably shouldn't use it at the top of your remap file. But I think it's an executable rather than a directory.

what do you get for ?

Andy, As usual you are correct. I just tried to cd my way there did not look for a file. /usr/bin/env is an executable.

/usr/bin/env --help returns

Usage: env [OPTION]... [-] [NAME=VALUE]... [COMMAND [ARG]...]
Set each NAME to VALUE in the environment and run COMMAND.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
  -i, --ignore-environment  start with an empty environment
  -0, --null           end each output line with NUL, not newline
  -u, --unset=NAME     remove variable from the environment
  -C, --chdir=DIR      change working directory to DIR
  -S, --split-string=S  process and split S into separate arguments;
                        used to pass multiple arguments on shebang lines
  -v, --debug          print verbose information for each processing step
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit

A mere - implies -i.  If no COMMAND, print the resulting environment.

/usr/bin/env python returns the same as /usr/bin/python

 

OK, so you do have it, and /usr/env python ought to work as your shebang.

Does the file run if called from the command-line with LinuxCNC running?

No it does not run.

I commented out the REMAP=M6 line in the .ini file

Started Linuxcnc

tried to run remap.py from the Remap directory

returned

bash: remap.py: command not found

I will be leaving for a while. I will check back in later tonight or tomorrow.

You would need
It's a Linux thing... But you need a path to an executable even if it is in the current directory.

So using ./remap.py

returns

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./remap.py", line 7, in <module>
    from interpreter import *
ImportError: No module named interpreter

Why is this not found?
 

emccanon can only be imported when the code is called as a remap. The same is possibly true of interpreter too.
Looking at your code I think that it will be hard to leave anything functional without interpreter and emccanon.

There seem to be two possibilities, that the code isn't being found and run, or that the code has errors.

To check the first, maybe save the current file under a different name and create something extremely siimple in its place, and see if that runs.

Checking the latter is more complicated. But I do wonder if the issue is that you call a number of functions before they are defined? For example, "change_prolog1"

Perhaps try moving your "def M6_Remap_sbm(self, **words):" section to the end of the file?
