touchy was created by partec
:unsure: just using linuxcnc for some years now with great pleasure - many thanks to all this good people preparing the crazy stuff!

using (ubuntu 10.04 cd) linuxcnc 2.5.0

touchy always runs with MDI velocity "100.0000" (mm per minute)

with "axis gui" stepper XYZ runs fine, same machine with "touchy gui", does homing with velocity 600.0000 e.g. as expected due to ini-file configuration, but with MDI "G1 Y-425 F1800.0" e.g. velocity is always 100.0000 and never 1800.0000 as expected?

thank you, Chris,

I know there are already a lot of newer gui's, but for a nc-Y Z positioner with 15" ELO it would be fine with touchy

I see in your INI file under [TRAJ]

linear_units = 1.0

according to the documents that is nor a valid entry (and certainly is ambiguous).

change it to mm for metric INI entries.

Other then that I haven't seen anything obvious.

Chris M

It seems TOUCHY at least, will accept 1.0 as metric, so that's why it works.

Ahh TOUCHY doesn't seem to have a way to set max_velocity directly from the INI file.
100 is the default setting

set the max velocity higher with the MV button and MPG
or edit the TOUCHY preference file

See if that helps.

yesterday Chris M to me, thanks a lot, TOUCHY doesn't seem to have a way to set max_velocity directly from the INI file. 100 is the default setting - set the max velocity higher with the MV button and MPG or edit the TOUCHY preference file
(I've seen halui setp in related topics 16. May 2012 Touchy and Keyboard
and 24./25/ Oct. 2013 Rapid over ride percentages)

still searching - I am spoiled ripe of JT's Tutorials - so where - in which dir/file can we find the "touchy" related preference file to edit, to make touchy coming up with higher set max velocity, using (ubuntu 10.04 cd) linuxcnc 2.5.0

# touchy.py
111 self.prefs = preferences.preferences()
112 self.mv_val = self.prefs.getpref('maxvel', 100, int) # <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
113 self.control_font_name = self.prefs.getpref('control_font', 'Sans 18', str)
# touchy.py

look in your home folder
but you have to set 'show hidden files'

.touchy_preferences

The dot in the beginning of the file name makes it hidden.

Do you not use a MPG wheel with touchy?
