Welcome to LinuxCNC.org

Count of what? There are no bit-labels but I can hardly imagine use case for them.
For bit pins use leds, for float or number - labels.

sorry, didn't explain it too well i guess. i'm trying to use a MDI to call a script counter.(attached)
in pyvcp i have halui.mdi-command-05 pin in the hal configuration. this is connected to
MDI_COMMAND = M123 in my axis. every time emc gets to m123, it increases the count..
i want a pin/signal to show the count.


Thanks

replace pyvcp.count with gladevcp.hal_label_count in M123

THANKS ! that was dumb of me.
but i still get the error about bit and s32/float/u32.



Thanks

the action MDI prop is named gladevcp.MDI_M124_count and i have the below in my posthal.hal.
gladevcp.M124_count is the name of the hal label in glade. i get the error msg that
pin does not exist. is it possible at ALL to get a bit in glade ?
just yes or no will be fine


net MDI_Count conv-bit-u32.2.in == gladevcp.MDI_M124_count
net Count_out conv-bit-u32.2.out == gladevcp.M124_count


Thanks

well i came up with the below. emc starts and the reset button works
do get error msg when clicking reset during program run. the pins/signals
show in HAL configuration. but it doesn't count M124.


net MDI_Count conv-bit-u32.2.in == halui.mdi-command-06
net Count_out conv-bit-u32.2.out == gladevcp.M124_count
net Reset_count halui.mdi-command-05 gladevcp.Reset_M124



Thanks

i change he text template and the difference shows in axis.
