Toggle Flood with One Button

not should be just as fast as any other component, are you sure you have it coded correctly?

John

i've tried it a number of time and each time the same thing.
but i don't think i understand what it is doing.

post your code

John

i don't have anything with "not" in it as i stayed
away from it for that reason. when i mean "slowed emc",
i mean it takes about 10 sec for emc to start whereas usually
emc starts before the "emc start image" goes off.
but thanks

I have one slow computer and I can't see any difference in loading time with and without not being used, something else must have caused the slow loading time.

John

could it be just bad formatting of not ?
but if bad format, wouldn't i get an error msg ?
and i remember that the button worked, not as it
should be worked /w error msg.
position in file ?

More likely one of the racetrack conditions you had going while learning hal.

Not sure that I would use halui.program.is-idle for your power on/off as it is true even if the e-stop is active which means you can't turn the power on in that state. I would use halui.estop.is-activated with a not to invert the state of the pin as part of my and2.

i ended up with

#power on/off
net power-btn and2.11.in0 <= pyvcp.on-off
net power-ok and2.11.in1 not.3.out
net power-not not.3.in <= halui.estop.is-activated
net power-request toggle.4.in <= and2.11.out
net power-toggle toggle2nist.1.in <= toggle.4.out
net power-is-on toggle2nist.1.is-on <= halui.machine.is-on
net power-on halui.machine.on <= toggle2nist.1.on
net power-off halui.machine.off <= toggle2nist.1.off

works but it turns it on slow.off is normal
