Ok, I've made something that does what I want it to do. But I am not sure it is the best way to accomplish it.
I wanted a pair of radio buttons. (I like the visual feed back they give of the state of on/off.) Then I also wanted a pair of M-codes that could also turn on/off the same thing. And last of all I wanted the the radio buttons to change when the M-codes were used.
So when my vacuum was turned off, the "Off" radio button was active, and when the vacuum was on the "On" button is active. The only way I could think of to make it work was to create a hal pin in the gladevcp's python file and use that to change the set_active(True) for the appropriate radio button.
like this:
Code:
def on_vacuum_state_value_changed(self, pin):
state = pin.get()
if state:
self.vac_on.set_active(True)
else:
self.vac_off.set_active(True)
Then using the hal pin from the hal radiobutton to actually trigger the signal to the propper out put pin(s).
It seems a little backwards to me to have the M-code trigger the the glade button, but I just couldn't think up another way that worked. (without using MDI for the Glade)
