??? how to load a custom gui file ???

ok, so could ya add that to the class _GStat in hal_glib.py?

is the joint dictionary brought in with the 'import linuxcnc' ??

add another line in hal_glib.py, probably next to 'current-position' line 153, and I think one of those 'self.emit' lines......

then I'm lost.

i'd try, but I am not a coder at all. I do have a VM setup to try stuff. that's where I'm working on my crude Qtvcp.

ok 'follow-error' gives a list of all joints current following error

COOL, I see what you did in the hal_glib.py file.
ah, and I see you added to the GStat docs.
anything else? just curious.

will that get committed and included in the builds? or do I need to do an RIP?

so, somehow that has to get into the gui _handler.py file, right???

looks like buildbot had already built it.

add something like this:

STATUS.connect('following-error', lambda w, data: self.update_ferrer(data))

def update_ferrer(self, data):
print (data)

cmorley,
I'm back... had to do some work for a few weeks, and waited to get a touch screen.
27" Elo touchscreen just delivered and setup on the mill machine.On to the screen mods.
Ok, so I have a qtdragon stretchable, and just added a small section to display vel and ferror of x,y,z.and I've been going through the handler file.  added your suggestion (def update....) in the general function section.
But I do not get how to connect the LCDNumber widgets to the python.....
Here I'm also assuming (hoping) that the axes velocities are available. 
they certainly are via hal pins....
So, a little help please.
If you would be so kind and to show how to do one, I can probably work out the others.....
Please....
Thanks.  

 



 

You would use a regular QLCD widget.


you use the name set in designer to reference the widget (ie. xFerrorLCD)

I also forgot you could use a statusLabel that watches a HAL pin - then there is no code to add,
and also covers the axes velocities you want.
double click the statusLabel and select misc/hal pin status then set the HAL pin name to watch.
You can use stylesheets or richtext to modify the look of the text.

wow, quick reply. THANKS.

OK, going through as many docs as I can find....
(and i see that the joint velocities are also in the jointdictionary)

I just noticed there is an LCDnumber in both the 'Display Widgets; and the 'Linuxcnc-HAL' sections. are they the same? which one is proper for this application?
Add your above to the handler, and change the LCDNumber name matches the xFerrorLCD.... yes?


for StatusLablel...
so, double click, go to misc... and in 'HalPin Name' put in the actual halpin, like 'joint.0.f-error' ???
and make sure the name of the statuaLabel 'statuslabel' is changed to xFerror

I'll give both a shot.. thanks.
also, how do I attach an image file, rather than embedding it?
are you ever on the IRC ?

use the display widget LCD one - that is the plain qt widget, that can be set with handler code.
the HAL widget LCD is controlled by a HAL pin that you must connect in a HAL file so not as convenient.


status label name doesn't matter.
If using status label, you don't use the handler code, so the name just needs to be unique
yes like hal name like joint.0.ferror

I very seldom use irc though I try to read it from time to time.
I'm on the dev mailist.

OK, still at it.  trying to use both the LCDNumber and StatusLabel.
still seems to be trouble with the LCDNumber.

 

I have added the code you suggested to the handler.py file.  I just don't get how it connects to the hal_glib.py file.  If that's not where it connects, what file does it connect with?
I can post snippets of any of the files if it helps.  not sure.
Ah, I also am running master on buster.  updated regularly, including today.
