PYVCP - SCALE Widget - Set Initial value was created by Askjerry
I've created some really nice panels now... I usually include a SCALE widget to control the jog feed rate.
Typically this scale will go from 1 to 60... depending on the machine... and as such, will initially come up as 1. I always forget that... and click a jog button... then wonder why the machine "didn't move"... but it did... just VERY slowly. So I wanted it to start up faster than that.... a different initial value.
Here is the typical code I use...
I wanted it to start off initially as 15 instead of 1... so I looked at the SPINBOX widget which hasSo I decided to give it a try... the PYVCP document didn't say anything about it... but I figured it would probably work. 
It works!
(Just wanted to pass that info along to someone else who might need it.)
Here is the code I used if you want to tinker with it...
