I am trying to get the current time from the PLC (Beckhoff-cx5130). I have tried "GETSYSTEMTIME", but I am not getting any output.
I also tried "NT_GetTime" "TIMESTRUCT" and "T_FILETIME" but showing some compiling error (Could be a library issue).
Any suggestion (Example code) regarding this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
I forgot to add the TcUtilities.Lib. After adding it, everything worked. For more info see Beckhoff's InfoSys
Example code
PROGRAM MAIN
VAR
fbSystemTime : GETSYSTEMTIME;
timeAsFileTime : T_FILETIME;
timeAsDT : DT;
END_VAR
fbSystemTime(
timeLoDW=>timeAsFileTime.dwLowDateTime,
timeHiDW=>timeAsFileTime.dwHighDateTime
);
timeAsDT := FILETIME_TO_DT(timeAsFileTime);

I am currently learning the UnrealEngine and made huge steps in less time.
I worked with version 4.25.1 for a while now and created a projekt in there without having any problems so far.
Yesterday I switched from version 4.25.1 to 4.26.0 (Prev2) and observed a strange behaviour.
In the older version I used "MultiSphereTraceByChannel" in one of my Actor-BluePrints and everything worked fine. Looping through the HitArrayResult gave me all hits of the tracer with specific objects.
Now in 4.26.0 it seems that it does not work properly anymore like before. Every hit returns an ImpactPoint of [0,0,0].
Here is a shortened example of my BluePrint:
So First I trace every hit with MultiSphereTraceByChannel with specific objects and then I try to render a sphere at each ImpactPoint of all found hits.
This worked in the older Version but does not now...
Does anyone have any Ideas/Suggestions/Questions?
To me it seems that something changed in the newer version which affects the MultiSphereTracer to work like it did before.

Edit:
This problem also happens with regular SphereTraceByChannel-Function!
After some investigations i found the problem/solution to this and it still bothers me that this happens in 4.26... The problems are the Start- and End-Vectors of the SphereTracer (doesn't matter which tracer).
In my example i use ActorLocation as Start- and(!) End-Vector which leads to this struggle. Now if i shift the vector like 1 unit on Z, everything workes fine again.
This is the correct way of the example above:
Works with both MultiSphere- and SphereTraceByChannel.
But it still bothers me why this happenes because now i have to change ALL SphereTracer and shift them by only 1 unit.
I'm currently trying to write an VS Code extension and it's a bit frustrating. I did everything as said here:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensions/example-hello-world
But after using yo code and entering all necessary information, I opened the respective folder VS Code hit F5 and VS Code says I should configure my launch.json (this should be done by yo code, shouldn't it?). However, when I press the debug start button, a extension-host window opens as described in that tutorial. BUT: When I try to execute the extension the command palette won't find it.
I tried several command names such as "hello world" "helloworld" or variants of the name of the extension that I gave in yo code. I also noticed the
"commands": [{
"command":"extension.sayHello",
"title":"Hello World"
}]
section of the package.json, but somehow I don't manage it to put it all together in order to get a simple, working vs code extension. In tutorial videos on youtube everyone can simply hit F5 after launching VS Code, what I cannot. Pretty weird somehow.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Additional information.
When I activated vs code to show all exceptions (even handled) vs code stops at the following point (see default:)
at internal/process/stdio.js (core module)
// ...
case 'PIPE':
case 'TCP':
var net = require('net');
stream = new net.Socket({
fd: fd,
readable: false,
writable: true
});
stream._type = 'pipe';
break;
default:
// VS CODE STOPS AT THE LINE FOLLOWING!
// Probably an error on in uv_guess_handle()
throw new Error('Implement me. Unknown stream file type!');
}
// Ignore stream errors.stream.on('error', function() {});
} catch (error) {
stream = createDevNull();
}
//...
Hopefully it helps :(
I solved my problem by reading the tutorial with more attention. The tutorial tells you to activate the command palette by Hitting F1 not CTRL P. This solved my Problem.
I did not change anything in the code; rather it seems to be important to hit F1 instad of [CTRL] + [P] despite it actually brings up the same input. I'm still wondering why to differenciate between CTRL + P and F1 if both bring up the same control. :/
Hope it helps other beginners, too.
cheers!
I had the same issue (though didn't debug to see if it failed on the same line) and I resolved it by restarting VSCode.
I'm using EF6 rc1 with Code First strategy, without precompiled views and the problem is:
If I compile and run the exe application it takes like 15 seconds to run the first query (that's okay, since I'm still working on the pre-generated views). But if I use Visual Studio 2013 Preview to Debug the exact same application it takes almost 2 minutes BEFORE running the first query:
Dim Context = New MyEntities()
Dim Query = From I in Context.Itens '' <--- The debug takes 2 minutes in here
Dim Item = Query.FirstOrDefault()
Is there a way to remove this extra time? Am I doing something wrong here?
Ps.: The context itself is not complicated, its just full with 200+ tables.
Edit: Found out that the problem is that during debug time the EF appears to be generating the Views ignoring the pre-generated ones.
Using the source code from EF I discovered that the property:
IQueryProvider IQueryable.Provider
{
get
{
return _provider ?? (_provider = new DbQueryProvider(
GetInternalQueryWithCheck("IQueryable.Provider").InternalContext,
GetInternalQueryWithCheck("IQueryable.Provider").ObjectQueryProvider));
}
}
is where the time is being consumed. But this is strange since it only takes time in debug. Am I missing something here?
Edit: Found more info related to the question:
Using the Process Monitor (by Sysinternals) I found out that there its the 'desenv.exe' process that is consuming tons of time. To be more specific its consuming time with an 'Thread Exit'. It repeats the Thread Exit stack 36 times. I don't know if this info is very useful, but I saved a '.cvs' with the stack, here is his body: [...] (edit: removed the '.cvs' body, I can post it again by the comments if someone really think its going to be useful, but it was confusing and too big.)
Edit: Installed VS2013 Ultimate and Entity Framework 6 RTM. Installed the Entity Framework Power Tools Beta 4 and used it to generate the Views. Nothing changed... If I run the exe it takes 20 seconds, if I 'Start' debugging it takes 120 seconds.
Edit: Created a small project to simulate the error: http://sdrv.ms/16pH9Vm
Just run the project inside the environment and directly through the .exe, click the button and compare the loading time.
This is a known performance issue in Lazy (which EF is using) when the debugger is attached. We are currently working on a fix (the current approach we are looking at is removing the use of Lazy). We hope to ship this fix in a patch release soon. You can track progress of this issue on our CodePlex site - http://entityframework.codeplex.com/workitem/1778.
More details on the coming 6.0.2 patch release that will include a fix are here - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adonet/archive/2013/10/31/ef6-performance-issues.aspx
I don't know if you have found the solution. But in my case, I had similar issue which wasted me close to a week after trying different suggestions. Finally, I found a solution by changing my web.config to optimizeCompilations="true" and performance improved dramatically from 15-30 seconds to about 2 seconds.
I am not sure what is going on, but i get this weird issue with buildbot.
The SVNPoller is configured as it should (checked various config example files), when i run the buildbot checkconfig it says that everything is fine....but it won't work at all.
If i trigger a build via the scheduler class it works fine, i can retrieve the source updates and build without problems (tried with a 1h timeframe).
The problem thou is that the poller is not working, so even if i build each hour, the changes column stays empty (i get the changes for the various versions thou, so if i click on the build detail i can see the sourcestamp carrying the right and most recent revision everytime that i modify the codebase); so I have no way to know if the build fails who did the last change.
Another peculiar thing is that in the twistd.log i see this line:
Warning: no ChangeSources specified in c['change_source']
And i am not sure why it wouldn't work since the checkconfig does not raise any error.
The result of this is of course that the only thing built is the hourly one, leaving me without the poller, and without knowing who is putting code in each build.
This is the code for the poller:
c['change source']=SVNPoller
(svnurl="svn+ssh://user#svnserver.domain.com/svn/project/trunk,
pollinterval=60*5,
histmax=10,
project=myproj,
svnbin = '/usr/bin/svn')
So far it looks good, so I am not really sure what is wrong here...why the SVNPoller is not triggering any build.
Anyone that has some suggestions about why is this happening ? Is there any other way to get changes from an SVN server? I am a total newbie at BuildBot and I am not really getting too much out of the manual; that looks much more like a scholastic book instead of being a manual that shows you how you do stuff :)
Thanks!!!!!
Ok, silly me :) the problem is the missing underscore on change_source...once added it the problem is solved
c['change_source'] = SVNPoller (svnurl=source_svn_url,
pollinterval=60,
histmax=10,
project='The_project',
svnbin= '/usr/bin/svn'
)
this will poll the svn codebase at source_svn_url (just put your svn:// path); and will check every minute to see if anyone has done changes; and will keep 10 changes in the record list (any change after the 10th will not show up so use it carefully if you do a lot of commits).
Hope that this helps who uses buildbot!
I am trying to stream sensor data from the iRobot Create. I get tuple out of range errors when I try
bot.stream_sensors(somenumber) and bot.poll_sensors(somenumbers). Whenever I input bot.sensors, I just get an empty array {}. I have even tried sending bot.sensors while pushing in on the bump sensor, still getting an empty array. I am connected to the bot through the Serial port with a serial-to-usb converter on my side. The only code before trying to get the sensor data is
import openinterface
bot = openinterface.CreateBot(com_port="/dev/ttyUSB0", mode="full")
Does anyone have an idea of how to solve this issue? Everywhere else just uses stream_sensors(6) and it seems to work fine.
P.S. I posted a question similar to this topic not too long ago, but no one responded. Not trying to spam, but now I have a more clear question and what the apparent-problem is so I thought I would try again.
I downloaded openinterface.py from this site: which included some sample programs. I'd suggest you take a step back, try the sample code, try to find other, more sophisticated, sample code and play with that first before moving on to your real code. You may be missing a step somewhere.
I may be a bit late to answer this, but for reference purposes. Directly controlling the iRobot is simplified greatly by using
Pyrobot.
