You still haven't written where I should put this other than in a
non-existent user_comps directory.
So I put it in /home/pi/linuxcnc/configs/sheldon-lathe as units.py. Then
fixed a , where I think a . should have been in line 12.
But still getting an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/linuxcnc/configs/sheldon-lathe/units.py", line 12, in
<module>
if s.program_units() == 1:
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
And thats line 12 and I'm out of ideas on python.
