I have a cycle timer that works fine but I noticed that someone had a accumulative type which I have enclosed a picture of.

do any of you have the coding for this and the hal pin info? and perhaps a reset to zero the timer too would be nice

Where did you see it? First place to ask?

(Your current timer is one Probotix cobbled together using classic ladder timers by the look of it - is this Probotix related too?)

Seems like you are in a loop, you posted on that same thread 6 months ago,
www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum...not-working?start=30
I'll leave JT to answer re his timer

The other screenshot is from pasha, may well have been when he was demo'ing the improved dial widget
Doubt you will be able to get hold of him

The timer I wrote is the cycle timer not the overall timer. Not sure what the overall timer would be tracking???

OK

Here is JT's timer, modified to show a cumulative total of cycle times for all jobs since it was launched.

The cumulative timer should hold 9942.0539213 hours, ought to be long enough!
component time2 "Time on in Hours, Minutes, Seconds with cumulative totals";

description 
"""
Time2

When the time2.N.start bit goes true the cycle timer resets and starts
to time2 until time.N.start goes false. If you connect time2.N.start to
halui.is-running as a cycle timer it will reset during a pause. See
the example connections below to keep the timer timing during a pause.

Time2 returns the hours, minutes, and seconds that time2.N.start is true.

The cumulative total is displayed by the second set of pins

Sample pyVCP code to display the hours:minutes:seconds.

In your post-gui.hal file you might use the following to connect it up

 loadrt time2
 loadrt not
 addf time2.0 servo-thread
 addf not.0 servo-thread
 net prog-running not.0.in <= halui.program.is-idle
 net cycle-timer time2.0.start <= not.0.out
 net cycle-seconds pyvcp.time-seconds <= time2.0.seconds
 net cycle-minutes pyvcp.time-minutes <= time2.0.minutes
 net cycle-hours pyvcp.time-hours <= time2.0.hours
 net total-cycle-seconds pyvcp.total-time-seconds <= time2.0.totalofseconds
 net total-cycle-minutes pyvcp.total-time-minutes <= time2.0.totalofminutes
 net total-cycle-hours pyvcp.total-time-hours <= time2.0.totalofhours

	   	seconds = totalseconds % 60;
		minutes = (totalseconds / 60) % 60;
		hours = (totalseconds / 3600);
    	totalofseconds = (totalseconds + sumtotalseconds) % 60;
		totalofminutes = ((totalseconds +sumtotalseconds) / 60) % 60;
		totalofhours = ((totalseconds +sumtotalseconds) / 3600);		
		}
	old_start = start;
}

and here it is running





Instructions for compiling etc same as on the other thread

Can you send the entire set of files, I am having trouble making this work.

I have enclosed mine if you want to see what I am doing wrong

Thanks

There is no 'entire set of files' . All the info you need is in the header of the comp file

Cut and paste the whole file and save as time2.comp

Compile with sudo comp --install time2.comp

Add the pyvcp xml bit from the header to your pyvcp xml file, whatever it is called

Add the hal section of the header to your postgui.hal file ( you have not done this, it is still the old code)

(NB This component is called time2, not time, make sure you are loading the right component)

I wonder if we can update master with this modified timer? It doesn't seem to break any old configs and adds total time to the component.

Entirely down to you JT, it is your component, I just tinkered with it.
Certainly if you name it back to timer, it is backwardly compatible with the existing component.

I think the first test needs changing to
if(reset)
    {
    sumtotalseconds = 0;
    totalofseconds = totalofminutes = totalofhours = 0;
    }

That way the counters will zero if there is no program running, which is probably what the user would expect.

If there is a program running, they will momentarily zero and then sync with the cycle counter.
