I assume that the rapid-to-home button is working? it seems to be correctly configured.

JT has already spotted the home-all problem. It seems that you don't get that pin without a home sequence.

Anyway, keep that listing, (well, the bottom third, you seem to have three copies there) as a guide to what pins you have available to put together in interesting ways.

well,

xml
<pyvcp>
<button>
<halpin>"halui.joint.0.home"</halpin>
<text>"Home X"</text>
<font>('Helvetica',10)</font>
</button>
</pyvcp>

custom_postgui.hal
net home-x halui.joint.0.home pyvcp.home-x

and ini
[HALUI]
MDI_COMMAND = G0 X0 Y0 Z0
HOME_X = 0

and i get
pin pyvcp.home-x does not exist

but i think it's my ini. didn't know what to equal HOME_X to.
don't think i should use g0 x0. i'm thinking it will move the table, but i tried it and got error.
from what ya'll showed me, i got it ALL right, but i'm not sure about the ini = to thingy :)

The first problem is you can't name your pyvcp button hal pin the same name as an existing pin.

The second problem is you are linking the pin pyvcp.home-x but you have not created it in your xml file.

The third problem is you can't just make stuff up to put in the ini file. So remove the home x stuff from your ini file.

now i'm really lost.
i changed parts of the MyVCP.xml, renaming parts of MDI Command. pin/frame/text, at each change i restarted emc.
no matter what i changed, it started with the MDI command and it home all.
so i deleted everything in the file and everything works. i made sure
i had the correct file. emc2/configs.
is this a necessary file or is it like <= and => ?

Is what a necessary file?

Please understand the halui home joint pins has nothing to do with halui MDI... this seems to be a confusing point for you.

Start by creating the buttons one at a time in your .xml file and start Axis after creating each button to make sure you have not made a mistake.

Make sure all the buttons are surrounded by one pair of <pyvcp></pyvcp> tags.

Give each button a pin name that is unique like I suggested in a previous post.

Should we move this discussion to the pyVCP category? It has evolved into a pyvcp discussion...

i don't see another home x
if you're talking about net home-x halui.joint.0.home => pyvcp.home-x, should it be net home-x halui.joint.0.home => pyvcp.just-home-x
and change the name in the xml ?

The second problem is you are linking the pin pyvcp.home-x but you have not created it in your xml file.
i thought i did. all i can see is i took <labelframe> out. do you mean i need it for each button ?

The third problem is you can't just make stuff up to put in the ini file. So remove the home x stuff from your ini file.
i did. but as i said, didn't know what to put so i put something. tried a number of other combinations there.

yes i guess i am confused, but that explained it better.
i've been working on just X for now and was going to work on each one as i got one working.
if you think we should move, as i think it's all the same(to me) but you know the rules better then i.
i have no with that.

There are no rules, but it is easier to find a discussion about pyvcp in that section of the forum later on. So yes create a new topic over there and we will work this out.
