hal-example: A brief example of a stand-alone GUI application that interfaces with the LinuxCNC HAL.
This program runs on any computer with linuxcnc, python, and python-gi installed.
Run this:
> halrun -I hal-example.hal
That will start HAL, run the hal-example.py program, and put you in a halcmd shell. When you are done, kill the GUI window and exit halcmd.
