PROGRAM_PREFIX in ini file

Hi all,

We are trying to use button 10 in the Extra panel to load a G-code program, I have set PROGRAM_PREFIX to /home/plasma/NGC_files and then added to BUTTON_10_CODE = load Bale_Forks/Combination_Fork_Tyne_holes.ngc . But when I press button 10 then this message comes up : "Unable to open file </usr/share/linuxcnc/ncfiles/Bale_Forks/Combination_Fork_Tyne_holes.ngc>"

Does this mean the PROGRAM_PREFIX is not implemented or recognized ? Or is the syntax wrong ? I am trying to follow the PlasmaC User Guide and it looks right to me, but obviously it isn't. Or is it another Gmoccapy quirk ?

Cheers, Peter

Hi Phil,

Yes, restarted plenty of times because I am working on adding functionality to our gamepad pendant.

Hi Phil,

Thank you. We have a buildbot installation so we'll see it come through.

I got another one for you (I hope you don't get sick of us !) : I have tried to implement a button on the gamepad pendant to start a program, using the "Remote Start" hal lines taken from the Linuxcnc user manual, But that doesn't work, and that leaves us wondering why ? It seemed pretty straightforward.

By the way, thank you for all your help, we do appreciate it !

Cheers, Peter
