Retrofitting an 89 Chiron FZ12W aka Igor

Latest mod to Igor is a wireless hand wheel:



I think for hardware I am done. Now the enhancements of the gui can start. There are three things I want to improve right now.
I would like to be able to calculate and enter values for setting the wcs. I have made me a button on the hand wheel for setting 0 and diving the value by two. This is handy when the wcs is in the middle of a part. But I would love to have a more flexible way of setting it in the gui.

A bigger and customised table.

The last thing is to improve the setup process.
I have a setup sheet shown in one window, but I would like to improve it by also showing it in the atc section and the offsets page. Or maybe make a dedicated setup page.

That is awesome!! Are you happy with that wireless handwheel? I was thinking of getting one.

Yea the wheel is cool I don’t use the keyboard or touch screen for jog anymore. Also I use that macros for setting the wcs

Do you have your config files for qtpyvcp or the whole machine somewhere? I am very interested in the customization you have done - it looks great - some of the most polished interface I have seen.

Maybe could put them in a github repo for our benefit and your archiving as well? If they aren't already.

I'm converting a Fadal 4020 from 1988.
