Re: [Machinekit] Re: Machinekit BBB Toolchanger.comp

Something has changed since I wrote the code. I still have it running on a rtai kernel on my lathe, but the Machinekit code is very old there. Axis appears to print the NML message buffer notifications, presumably at some point rtapi_msgXXX() printed to that, but now just prints to the log. I previously suggested using a system dialog such as zenity. zenity --info --text="Tool not homed. Use M6Tx to set current tool." will give you the attached dialog. You can just use system("zenity --info --text="Tool not homed. Use M6Tx to set current tool."); or better practice would be to fork or spawn it. As we are no longer using hard rt kernels with low us thread timing and nothing else is going on whilst this message is displayed, there is probably no harm in this approach. An alternative would be to create a pyvcp panel in axis and use one of the multilabel widgets I wrote a long time ago http://www.machinekit.io/docs/hal/pyvcp/#multi_label You could store 6 error or info messages in each one and trigger its display from a pin If you make one message blank, you can display then wipe the display as required. There is an example of use here https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/configs/sim/pyvcp_demo/pyvcp_demo1.xml https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/configs/sim/pyvcp_demo/custom.hal You just need to create a s32 trigger pin(s) in the component and connect that up in hal to the pyvcp and send whatever integer relates to the relevant message. Cat skinning methods are plentiful.
