Please check the last 15 or so posts in [Machinekit] Machinekit not starting: seems to be attempting to start incorrect rtapi app Re: [Machinekit] Re: Problems with installing xhc-hb04 in my Machinekit BBB cnc project There was a problem, which was fixed yesterday, doing a fresh pull should sort it On 21/03/17 08:31, fr...@franksworkshop.com.au wrote: Thanks for the fix, but pulling your fix and the others on master seems to have made things worse.  Now I'm getting lots of Segmentation Faults during the make setuid phase...

So now you can start and stop and the count is cumulative, or you can reset at will. To test run # !/bin/bash DEBUG=5 realtime restart halcmd loadrt time halcmd newthread servo 1000000 fp halcmd addf time.0 servo halcmd start halcmd setp time.0.start 1 halcmd show pin sleep 5 halcmd setp time.0.start 0 halcmd show pin halcmd setp time.0.zero 1 halcmd setp time.0.zero 0 sleep 5 halcmd setp time.0.start 1 halcmd show pin sleep 5 halcmd show pin halrun -U It will show you it counting to 5 secs , then stopping and zeroing, restarting and counting to 5 secs again. If you want to display time in a pyvcp panel, you could just use the pyvcp_timer widget I wrote ages ago https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/blob/master/lib/python/pyvcp_widgets.py#L1040 It just uses system time, rather than the thread period On 19/03/17 10:33, schoo...@btinternet.com wrote: There is a problem with the time component, I will let you know when it is sorted I think the thread functions need updating. v2 is for atomic operations across cores and of no relevance here On 19/03/17 09:26, fr...@franksworkshop.com.au wrote: I've just updated my BBB 3D printer to that latest image and notice my run timer is no longer ticking along. I'm using the time component.  The pins look correct, and a floating thread is calling the function, but the time is not updating. I noticed there is a timev2 component with different syntax to access pins.  Is this what I need to use?  When did that change?
