good day to everyone,
my goal is to write a G Code program based on the input of a KMotionCNC graphics page to execute a complete thread G32 based. As u can see from attached screenshots, I used the instruction
GetEditControlDouble(variable,VAR,offset)
to read the Controls inside the page, but I get always a NULL value. Of course there is something wrong, but I can't to understand where.
Some advice to fix the problem?

Hi Beppe,
To print the value of a variable a format specifier must be included in the string to indicate where and how the value should be placed. %f for a floating point variable. Like in the line you commented out. %5.1f requests 5 characters total with one decimal place be printed.
Note all the strings should end with a \n (newline character) to cause it to print.
hi Tom
following your advices now the C program is running.
I have another problem on the tool changer: until a week ago it was working fine and suddenly it stopped to work. As you can see on attached KMotionCNC screenshots, the TOOL_VAR variable read is always zero and obviously the tool change program reports an error. Doesn't care if I call the change by manual button, by MDI command or from a G-Code... the TOOL_VAR is always zero. I am sure that the declaration #define TOOL_VAR 9 is inside the rotate tool changer program only and I am also sure I don't use any persist.UserData[] to write the VAR #9 into the other C programs: any advice how to debug the problem?

sorry, when I recorded the KMotionCNC screenshot I didn't see i wasn't inside the right thread but the Console is reporting what happened due Tool Changer program

Hi Beppe,
Do you have M6 configured to use Var #9?
hi Tom,
if you mean in the KMotionCNC tool setup, yes
Hi Beppe,
Correct.
What Slot Value do you have in the Tool Table for Tool ID 1002?
hi Tom,
here is already night and I will check tomorrow morning what you ask. Just to understand better... is the Tool ID value been passed from KMotionCNC to Kflop VAR #9?
Beppe
Hi Beppe,
Normally what is important for a Tool Change Program is what Slot the Tool is in not the ID. But both are passed to the Tool Change Program. Slot in VAR and ID in VAR+1.
HTH
good day Tom,
problem fixed: because I develop C programs at home, something went wrong with copying files to the lathe PC and the M6 calling was on VAR #0 instead #9. That's all. A stupid problem that make me feel more stupid.
thanks anyway for your infinite patience.

Hi Tom,
I was designing a KMotionCNC diagnostics page to view all the status of Kflop-Kanalog IN / OUT but I realized I didn't have enough IDC_But to use as a led. Is there any way to add more buttons?
Beppe
Hi Beppe,
Not without changing the source code. We will consider adding more.
You might consider going to multiple screens.
