Thanks to andypugh's excellent example setup here:
www.bodgesoc.org/lathe/lathe.html
, I was able to get some pyvcp spinbox values back into my code.
Now I'm trying to implement a similar setup with a radiobutton but getting a bit/float mismatch error:
custom_postgui.hal:11: Signal 'ztype.Plate_in' of type 'bit' cannot add pin 'motion.analog-in-01' of type 'float'
So the cause of the error is obvious to me, but the solution isn't as clear (at least not for a pyvcp/python noob like myself)
Here's my current XML code:
Code:
<vbox>
<relief>GROOVE</relief>
<bd>2</bd>
<button>
<text>"Height (Z) Probe"</text>
<halpin>"zprobe"</halpin>
</button>
<hbox>
<label text="Touchplate type:"/>
<radiobutton>
<choices>["Plate","Tape"]</choices>
<halpin>"ztype"</halpin>
</radiobutton>
</hbox>
</vbox>
In the postgui i have:
Code:
net ztype.Plate_in pyvcp.ztype.Plate => motion.analog-in-01
net zprobe-req pyvcp.zprobe => halui.mdi-command-01
Which works fine for a spinbox value, but not a radiobutton.
Basically what I want to do is have different offset values passed back into the o code depending on which radiobutton is checked.
