As the tittle, how to get halshow & halmeter with PP V2.0 Tormach 1100 s3

[gerritv]

ADMIN HALMETER works out of the box. (It is hidden from the default list in ADMIN)
Halshow requires you to place halshow.tcl in ~/tmc/tcl/bin and edit ~/tmc/bin/halshow to point to it. Once you have done that then ADMIN HALSHOW will pop it up for you.

You can use the halshow.tcl from any linuxcnc distro.

Okay, I'll show off my ignorance. What's Halmeter do for you?

[kstrauss]

Dare I say that it is a meter? Seriously, see HAL Tools for more than you probably wanted to know.

Thanks for the info.

I have located and copied the halshow.tcl from another distro.

I am have trouble finding ~/tmc/tcl/bin in PP

operator@tormachpcnc:~$ cd ~/tmc/tcl/bin
bash: cd: /home/operator/tmc/tcl/bin: No such file or directory

Can you point me to where I am going wrong?

oops, forgot to say that you need to create the bin directory inside ~/tmc/tcl. It's been a while since I had to do this, memory faded.
