How to connect buttons and files.

Hi

I'm totaly frustrated.

I got everthing to work. Nice pyvcp. To metric adjusted phyton files. Calling the phyton files via M1xx command.

BUT no more transfer of data to the Axis screen..... !!!!!!!!!

I could identify some code that is reacting if the phyton program is called inside of Axis....
BUT I dont understand what I have to modify or if it is eventually impossible to get what I wanted ??

I have a downloadable (windows made) zip file on my www at www.eitel.ch/mechatronics/MeCNC/cnc.zip

a.) my complete configuration MeBigCNC2 ( having a second parport at D4000 )
b.\ a part of my nc_files with the M1xx commands and the "source" in the /tools subdirectory

I hope that I did not lost all those hours to "include" .py in axis via buttons ....

P.S.
I have choosen as username : cnc

Yes Andy

Problem is that the phyton progarm is strting as soon as I press abutton.
Everithing is fine.... BUT the transfer to Axis button is missing, you just see a QUIT button.

I looked into the code and found an "If statement"

I replaced the line for quit by the same command as it would treat normaly...
But no reaction . Nothing is transfered into Axis.

I hope somebody can tell me how to get the python into Axis, when it's called via the M1xx statements.

Yes John for sure

Very nide programs.... And I seached the web, but could not find more than those in the wiki pages.

They run fine and transfer to axis, as long as not started via M1xx

---

I fear that it's some kind of "environment" problem that can not be soved.
To be honest, I can modify the code, but do not understand who a phyton program is "embeddet" into Axis....

Did you start by calling via pvycp button and renamed to a M1xx file in nc_files directory.
Thr effect is only occuring when started that way.

Hi John
I did similar all time when modifiing the codes

And I started also via axis and file button .. works perfect

I started to workout how to solve with pyvcp, hal, ini, python. etc.
Did my prof of concepts. Tested all the -py you find in the tools directoy. Than I did all the pyvcp finish.
Last was copiyng to nc_files and renamimg to M1xx.
Started all of them via button. Super... Then I saw that transfer to Axis button was missing AT ALL programs.

Grrrr I'm frustrated... My stomache feeling is that there is a basic problem.... hope somebody can show me that I'm wrong.
