Get a #var to use in a Python script

Anyone know how to get a # var into a python script such as:

X_Value = #5061

I do not see any function like GetVar() where it would be used like Test_Value = Getvar(5061)

haven't tried it but does this help

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...athe-fanucy/remap.py

or a full writeup here

linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/remap/remap.h...g_dealing_with_abort

Unfortunately no it does not help. I read that earlier in my search.

But thanks for the help, ( TP

Do you know how you use the debugger features of your python IDE?
I beelive in another thread a comment was made about 'above my paygrade' so i've not sure of your skillset. please do not take offense, trying to understand skill level.

So actually what are you using to code python?
I use WingIDE and pycharm

the reason I ask is you can with a python debugger you can browse thru what LinuxCNC is passing you back so you can find what your searching for.

No offense taken ( I am not a programmer. I use Gedit to modify scripts. Then run PP and if I get an error I look in teh PathPilot.log to see what it was

From a python script:
check_x = str( 123.345) ## I need numeric value to be <_X>
Then I pass it off to a message to teh operator

BUT I get an error message
File "/home/operator/v2.3.6/python/ui_common.py", line 5291, in send_m1_alert
check_x = str( _x)
NameError: global name '_x' is not defined

AND the error makes sense as _x is a gcode variable and is not present in the Python side

It seems there is a void between Python and teh Gcode side of LinuxCNC where you cannot pass variables across OR at least not from what little I know of it.

I had found this code example in a script " if self.params[5600] > 0.0: " and I thought it might be teh answer but it errored as well

check_x = self.params[5061] I used teh 5061 because I know what it is (

Attribute error: Mill instance has no attribute ' params '

It is ODD that as long as EMC has been around that there is NO link between teh 2 sections Python/Gcode to share variables or parameters. I can do half teh function from Gcode but cannot notify teh operator. I can do teh notify operator from teh Python side but cannot pass variable data to them.

I wonder WHY you cannot import emccanon from Python script. Python has no idea what emccanon is.

Catch22 , Close but no Cigar , ( TP

I think I may be able to use remap. I am testing now.
