Hi Norbert
Thanks for making Gmoccapy, and thanks for helping me.
I thought this would be easy to fix when i knew what to look for, but I have removed all the custom hal files like this:
Code:
[HAL] HALUI = halui HALFILE = emco-lathe-gmoccapy.hal ;HALFILE = joypad.hal ;HALFILE = custom.hal ;POSTGUI_HALFILE = custom_postgui.hal # I also commented out the ui handler python script. [DISPLAY] #....... ;EMBED_TAB_NAME = xbox_1 ;EMBED_TAB_LOCATION = box_left ;EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = gladevcp -u myuihandler.py -x {XID} xboxgui.ui

I don't think I have made any changes in emco-lathe-gmoccapy.hal. Anyway, I have commented out everything but this:
Code:
# Generated by stepconf 1.1 at Sun Jan 22 06:31:44 2017 # If you make changes to this file, they will be # overwritten when you run stepconf again loadrt trivkins loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT base_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]BASE_PERIOD servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD num_joints=[TRAJ]AXES loadrt hal_parport cfg="0x378 out" setp parport.0.reset-time 1000 loadrt stepgen step_type=0,0 loadrt encoder num_chan=1 loadrt abs count=1 loadrt scale count=1 loadrt lowpass count=1 #My stuff. #loadusr -W hal_input -KRAL Gamepad #loadusr io, was already loaded. addf parport.0.read base-thread addf stepgen.make-pulses base-thread addf encoder.update-counters base-thread addf parport.0.write base-thread addf parport.0.reset base-thread addf stepgen.capture-position servo-thread addf encoder.capture-position servo-thread addf motion-command-handler servo-thread addf motion-controller servo-thread addf stepgen.update-freq servo-thread addf abs.0 servo-thread addf scale.0 servo-thread addf lowpass.0 servo-thread #net spindle-cmd-rpm <= motion.spindle-speed-out #net spindle-cmd-rpm-abs <= motion.spindle-speed-out-abs # The rest is also commented out.

Still getting the startup warning. I don't know what else I can disable to locate the error.

Hi
New information:
I have managed to get rid of the startup warning by commenting out one line in the ini file,
[EMC] MACHINE = my-emco-lathe, see below.

Code:
# Generated by stepconf 1.1 at Sun Jan 22 06:21:10 2017 # If you make changes to this file, they will be # overwritten when you run stepconf again [EMC] ;MACHINE = my-emco-lathe DEBUG = 0

What does this mean? Where is this information used? Any ideas of where to go next?

Best regards
Patrik

Excuse my mildly confusing last post. I mistakenly thought EMC was an abbreviation for EMergenCy (stop).

Axis does not give any startup warnings if I switch to axis by doing this in the ini file, see below, and commenting some Gmoccapy stuff in the postgui.hal file.

Code:
[DISPLAY] DISPLAY = axis # CYCLE_TIME = 150

If I switch back to Gmoccapy with (or without) the same stuff commented out in the postgui.hal file, then the startup warning is still there.

This seems to be a workaround.

In a comp:
Code:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Hack the startup warning. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// if (!is_manual && is_idle && !is_paused && warning_hack_counter++ < 200) // Overflow will not annoy. mode_manual = true;

Hallo Patrik,

could you please post your complete config?
I will check what happen.

Thank you.
This is one configuration that generates the startup warning.

Don't spend too much time on it, I have found a workaround. There are other things in Gmoccapy that I would rather have fixed.

Hallo Patric,

I just copied the files in gmoccapy, and saved them in my config dir. I can start the config, without any warning!

What release of gmoccapy do you use?

Thanks for checking.
I use Gmoccapy 1.5.6.8.
I noticed that if I start with the wireless xbox controller turned off, I do not get any warning. But if I disable it altogether, like in the config I posted, I do get the warning. These are the changes I have made to linux since the install.

Code:
patrik@debian:~$ sudo nano /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="lapic quiet rootdelay=5 idle=poll nomodeset grub_gfxmode=1280x1024x24" patrik@debian:~$ sudo update-grub patrik@debian:~$ apt-get update patrik@debian:~$ sudo apt-get install gedit patrik@debian:~$ sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins patrik@debian:~$ sudo apt-get install xboxdrv patrik@debian:~$ sudo nano /etc/rc.local xboxdrv --silent --detach-kernel-driver patrik@debian:~$ sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf blacklist xpad patrik@debian:~$ less /proc/bus/input/devices patrik@debian:~$ sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-dev patrik@debian:~$ sudo halcompile --install myxpadlathe.comp patrik@debian:~$ sudo apt-get install gawk lm-sensors binutils mesa-utils hddtemp patrik@debian:~$ cd /usr/local/bin/ patrik@debian:~$ sudo wget -Nc smxi.org/inxi patrik@debian:~$ sudo chmod +x inxi patrik@debian:~$ sudo inxi -F all patrik@debian:~$ sudo apt-get install mesa-utils patrik@debian:~$ glxgears

After the warning is reset it does not come back or cause any further problems.
So, I can live with the workaround I posted.

Best regards
Patrik

Hi again.

May i ask if it is possible to access the Gmoccapy Gremlin preview from a python script?
I am using an embedded tab with a python handler like so:

Code:
EMBED_TAB_NAME = xbox_1 EMBED_TAB_LOCATION = box_left # EMBED_TAB_LOCATION = box_custom_1 EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = gladevcp -u myuihandler.py -x {XID} xboxgui.ui

I want to be able to clear, pan and zoom from my python script.

Best regards
Patrik
