Axis to properly display dual turret lathe XZ;UW was created by smalla
Hi all,
Im building a dual turret lathe, and linuxcnc controls XZ;UW axes. So far I have managed to get this display (in the attached file)
I have two problems with the display:
The tool wont move in Z or W directions (on the display). only in X and U directions.
Please point me on what should I have to modify to get a proper display of axes movement.
The other thing is that only the X axis is displayed as Rad/Dia, the U does not. And should be.
How can I modify this?
Im using linuxcnc 2.7.11
And the display config relevant sections here:
[DISPLAY]
DISPLAY = axis
EMBED_TAB_NAME = GladeVCP
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND = halcmd loadusr -Wn gladevcp gladevcp -c gladevcp -H gvcp_call_list.hal -x {XID} gvcp-panel.ui
LATHE = 1
FOAM = 1
GEOMETRY = XZ;UW
TOOL_EDITOR = tooledit X Z U W DIAM COMMENT
if it needs the modification of the axis source files, than please point me the relevant section and files.
Thanks

I think that you probably need changes to hal_gremlin.
You might get some ideas what needs to be changed by looking at the commits that added XY / UV hot-wire foam cutting support.

(And it might be interesting to see what happens if you put FOAM=TRUE in the INI.

Thanks,
Actually FOAM is set to 1 AND LATHE too. Without the LATHE option set, it draws it vertically. But it is a horizontal machine.
I will look into the axis.py, but Im not a big python fan.
