Remap g-code: Wait for ngc commands to complete?

More
01 Feb 2023 21:35 #263467 by chowderhead
It seems when remapping g-code, either in pure Python or using prolog/ngc/epilog, any ngc commands (either in ngc file or self.execute()) are queued and subsequent Python code is immediately executed. I need to await the conclusion of a G38 before executing subsequent code, how do I do that?

Thanks!

I think that you might have almost guessed it in the title.

After a c.mdi() use a c.wait_complete()

Thank you for the quick reply!

That works for the linuxcnc python module, but I don't see wait_complete() in the interpreter module doing a print(dir(self)) from the python routine called by REMAP, so I don't think it'll work. I suppose I could import linuxcnc in remap.py and fire mdi commands, but it seems a bit kludgy...

Can I see the code?

This might just be a consequence of how LinuxCNC works, with a realtime queue that is fed from userspace code.

Without actually setting up a remap I can't easily see what the interpreter library can do (it's not importable outside a remap, AFAIK).

Can you dir(interpreter) in your remap and look for a flush() command?

There is no flush in interpreter.

The following blows up with a cryptic error message:

from interpreter import *
from emccanon import MESSAGE
import hal
from time import sleep, time
throw_exceptions = 1

def M33(self, **words):
    if not hal.get_value('welder.wc_ready'):
        self.set_errormsg('Weld controller is not ready')
        return INTERP_ERROR
    
    if hal.get_value('welder.touch_start'):
        # Enable touch sense:
        touch_sense = hal.get_value('welder.touch_sense')
        if touch_sense:
            # Shouldn't happen
            self.set_errormsg('M33 called but touch sense already enabled')
            return INTERP_ERROR
        else:
            hal.set_p('welder.touch_sense', '1') # Value must be a string
        # Wait until touch sense has been enabled
        enabled = hal.get_value('welder.touch_sense_enabled')
        while not enabled:
            sleep(0.1)
            enabled = hal.get_value('welder.touch_sense_enabled')
        self.execute('G90')
        self.execute('G38.2 Z-10 F10')
        self.execute('G91')
        hal.set_p('welder.touch_sense', '0')
        hal.set_p('welder.welder_on', '1')
    return INTERP_OK

It's probably no help, but what is the cryptic error message?

            yield INTERP_EXECUTE_FINISH

A little bit on it near the end of this section.

Thank you! There is a lot on that page to digest, and I didn't see this one. I'll give it a try when I'm back in the shop.

On a related note, I'm running 2.10 on my home machine and 2.9 at the shop. They seem to yield different results with similar remaps. I'll confirm today and post the results here.

Thanks for the help, works a charm!

I can confirm a difference between 2.9 and 2.10. The following simple remap:
def M34(self, **words):
    self.execute('G91')
    self.execute('G1 Z-0.1 F300')
    self.execute('G90')

Initialized by:
REMAP= M34 modalgroup=10 python=M34

Completes without issue in 2.9, but produces the following in 2.10:
emc/task/emctask.cc 69: interp_error: remap_finished: got -13 - not in cblock.remappings!
remap_finished: got -13 - not in cblock.remappings!

I suggest you add a issue to github so it doesn't get lost.
