Code:
halcmd: loadrt pid
halcmd: show pin pid.0.*gain pid.0.feedback pid.0.error
Component Pins:
Owner Type Dir Value Name
3 float I/O 0 pid.0.Dgain
3 float I/O 0 pid.0.Igain
3 float I/O 1 pid.0.Pgain
3 float OUT 0 pid.0.error
3 float IN 0 pid.0.feedback
halcmd: net some-sig <= pid. => pid.0.error
halcmd: net some-sig <= pid.0.Pgain => pid.0.error
<stdin>:2: Signal 'some-sig' can not add OUT pin 'pid.0.error', it already has I/O pin 'pid.0.Pgain'
halcmd: net some-sig <= pid.0.feedback => pid.0.error
halcmd:
Never mind the fact that connecting the
error output to either
Pgain or
feedback is non-sensical, I am using it as an example. In my actual configuration, I am connecting an OUT pin from a pyVCP GUI to
Pgain and getting the same error. I cannot see any reason why any of the
*gain inputs are listed as input/output pins. Could anyone provide more information as to why, and if there is no good reason, should they be changed? For the standard configuration where a value is fed direct from the INI file using setp, it is fine, but I am trying to make a GUI which aids in PID tuning.
