External Reset Button was created by davidimurray
My adventures with pathpilot continue - I am now trying to add an external button to do the on-screen reset. I am struggling to find what the correct pin is from the GUI to activate to get the reset conditon. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Dave

Thats in the HAL for your Mill/Lathe
here's from the MILL
########################################################################
# E stop
# P3 pin 15 gpio 003
# estop noise debounce
# use this line with a machine attached
net machine-ok-raw <= hm2_[HOSTMOT2](BOARD).0.gpio.003.in_not => debounce.0.3.in

I've got that line hooked up to my E-stop button which seems to work correctly. But you then need to click the on-screen reset button to get the machine out of the Estop state - it is this reset I am trying to replicate with an external button.
The code below appears in the e-stop section
I've tried directly connecting my input pin from the 7i76e to estop-latch.0.reset and I can see the reset bit toggle and also the the ok-out bit change - but this doesn't clear the 'reset' condition in PP and the rest on-screen button continues to flash.

net estop estop-latch.0.ok-out => iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in => hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.output-07 => pwmgen.00.enable
net estop-reset iocontrol.0.user-request-enable => estop-latch.0.reset

So far from all my research it looks like there is not the capability to setup a reset button without some Python work.
I've created a new Hal-Pin called ext-reset and linked this to my pushbutton. I can see that this is working in halshow
Apologises for the stupid question but I'm a noob to Python. how do I call the reset function? The function is setup asdo i just need :
Any help much appreciated

self.call_ui_hook('reset_button')
Any help much appreciated

I used this inside ui_common.py
self.enqueue_button_press_release(self.button_list)
when I was playing with the console modifications.
