Ahh I uploaded the timer_hu.glade instead of timer_hu.py.
I edited the post (the forum added the timestamp)

Oom, I can not see an error on the files you posted, but I have not jet tested on a LinuxCNC computer.
Did you use tabs to idend the python code or did you edit it on a windows pc? Both is a bad idea, as it often leads to strange errors.

The code you added will react exactly like the running time, so why you added a additional label, you need also additional pin to reset the time when a new part starts and it should only update if the interpreter is running and and and

So I see you are in the first steps.

Please post the terminal output, there must be some strange output.

Yes I want to add the function when the display is working.

The indentation is fine and it's editied on a linux system.
And I only added 3 lines. Maybe I have missed something?

The output of LinuxCNC is
where timer_v2.hal is essentially your last hal file (I attached it again to have the same base)
If I skip the hal file with then the tab is shown at least (of course with no function)

What I am wondering most is that it fails with the error above when I simply replace your timer.glade by my timer_4.glade.
As timer_4.glade only extends timer.glade with an additional test field / label. I would assume that it show the default value if it isn't overwritten.

Aahhhh.

That can not work!
You changed the Emmbedded part of the INI entry!!!

That line must contain the Hal file as parameter, you seem to load the timer_v2. Hal on an other place!

No, I just replaced by .
I didn't add it or load it at another place.
And first is working (of course, because it's yours :laugh:) and second not.

Did you want it to show like this?



By changing the entry in the load part of the INI File you changed the component names, so all hal pin aren not any more called timer, but timer_4

I changed the hal pin names and now it does work

If we do not specify a component name, the name of the glade file will be taken.

That was the crucial hint. I didn't know that. If I only change the file name, then all works as expected!
Thanks so much Norbert!

I added the travel distances to Norberts VCP:


and renamed it to counter as it does now more than time based counting.
But pay attention on if you already used the abs or integ HAL component in another hal file.
Only the columns are a bit strechted since a added a vbox around. Without the vbox was that correct (see counter_b.glade)
The calculation of the real travel distance was easier than my first approach when using the pin "motion.current-vel".
If someone has a better name for "Real" please tell me. I didn't want to use "Total" because it doesn't simply adds the travel distances of X, Y and Z.
The Program Running Time makes no sense in this location as you can only get there when the program is stopped. In this case the counter will be resetted and you will always see a zero. I let it in if someone wants it at another location.

Therefore a added a separate VCP for the current program running to be displayed at the main screen like this:




I added it in the INI file in this way:

I'll add the files for the programtimer in another post because of the file number limitation.

The files for the program timer...

Another thing I noticed while playing around:
Can you also grey out the stop button (like you already did with the play and pause button) when the program is already stopped?
