So I get the following: halcmd getp halui.mode.teleop FALSE halcmd setp halui.mode.teleop 1 halcmd getp halui.mode.teleop TRUE But it does not work. That shows it _does_ work, but for some reason you are not seeing the result expected in terms of movement. There is only one way to do it https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/src/emc/usr_intf/halui.cc#L1110 The python method in Axis, just does the same by a round about route So has someone any idea what I could use to switch the mode from machineface? Not me I am afraid I tried to modify my config to run the axis UI i get ii to work. If i switch there from the UI and read back I get false. halcmd getp halui.mode.teleop FALSE I am not quite sure what you are saying - that Axis does not change mode either? Is it running on its own or in tandem? The problem with UI's, Axis in particular, is that they tend to maintain an internal state for some values and do not check globally. This is because they expect to be the only UI and not to have other UI's running in parallel. I suspect that if Axis did not set world mode, it will think you are in joint mode and vice versa, because that is what its internal function vars.joint_mode.get() returns https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/src/emc/usr_intf/axis/scripts/axis.py#L2563 So toggling the mode may not yield the result you expected thanks mathias -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
