Opps, my guess is I've never tested with more than 3 axes... I see the error is in the ui file I'll fix that in the morning.

Great piece of software. I'm in the process of making a 3d printed arm and this is perfect for teaching the arm some sequential moves. The only thing is can a button be added to copy the points over to the axis screen so the user just presses play and the machine executes the points?
Nice work!
Nice work!

Can you test the changes? I don't have PyQt4 on my development PC...

Just for the sake of it I commented out
if IN_AXIS:
As expected the button on not grayed but I have an error
AttributeError: 'MyWindow' object has no attribute 'g_code'
Am I running the program wrong? The Log button logs the commands without problems

I managed to get it working
I changed this
The Position logger needs to be opened with LinuxCNC for the button to work. If you run it in a separate terminal it doesn't work. Maybe because it is a separate process..
And you need to use Gmoccapy if you want to move the machine to log different positions. AXIS does not work, it looks like it is frozen while position logger is open
I changed this
def sendToAxis(self):
gcode = [str(self.gcodeList.item(i).text()) for i in range(self.gcodeList.count())]
#sys.stdout.write(self.g_code.get(0.0, END))
sys.stdout.write('\n'.join(gcode)+"\nM2") # Add M2 to the end so LinuxCNC is happyThe Position logger needs to be opened with LinuxCNC for the button to work. If you run it in a separate terminal it doesn't work. Maybe because it is a separate process..

Axis in LinuxCNC 2.8 works fine with the position logger running. However sys.stdout.write does not work with Axis.

I'm using 2.9.. And with the above changes and Gmocappy works great.. It would be better if I didn't need to close the program to publish the gcode but hey that is wishfull thinking 
Thank you for the program. In my opinion it should be integrated in LinuxCNC

I just wanted to put this other position logger into the same place for future reference:
forum.linuxcnc.org/41-guis/25849-teach-i...m-generation?start=0
forum.linuxcnc.org/media/kunena/attachments/16368/Teachin.txt
Modified teach-in.py "stripped down the part of the gui and added a hal pin to capture the position"
"It is a HAL module with an input pin which appends to a file the actual position when the input is TRUE. It is intended to be used with an edge detector to trigger it."

Nice!
So you use a halpin to trigger the capture... How do you end the teaching?
