Tool change

Ok.

Did some reading in the manual regarding the webcam/camera thing. I would like a tab with at view of what the machine is doing.
I'm currently using gmoccapy.

The manual states that camview is no longer supported.."just look on the forum, there is a lot of alternatives".......

#insert mental image of John Travolta looking around himself from PulpFiction#...

I cant find enything on here that makes sence to me. (the addition of camview seemed to be fairly understandable to me)

Can enyone give me a push in a simple direction to adding a usb webcam/camera tab.

to the TOPIC get money from the running and build a better one
ROFL

Sooooo was reading the manual and trying to follow the recipe for the tool change from 5.11 to chapter 6.
I have now followed the recipe 3 times, and my gmoccapy machine wont load....

I cant quite figure out what I am missing..

I do know that if I put a # in front of the added 4 lines to the "custom_postgui" stated in 5.11 the machine will start up...

I get this error if the 4 lines are "active":
... hmm how do I post/copy the linuxCNC error?

It seems to be asking for a gmoccapy2.glade file.....
I made the machine with all the bells and whistles from the stepconf wizz and followed the manual, so why am I missing something....

Hmmm found the lines from 6,4 postgui.hal also written in the machinename.hal

# the 4 lines out. and now gmoccapy runs (Insert mental "hackerman" immage )

(has this something to do with the option that is ticked of in the conf with the manual tool change box?

AAAAAAAND voila! the tool change works, here on the desk setup.

Now I just need to make the probe switch mechanics

ahh of course! I'm used to having one thread for all questions.

I will aim my pipeline of gmoccapy questions to that area

Hi Andy.

I am flirting with the idea to retrofit my Harrison mill to cnc. ( I think I will start with a stepper sollution)

Do you have eny files, info or whatever on the ballscrews, spindle nut mounts and so on on the retrofit that you did on yours ?

Dooh. Found the build thread on cnczone.. Forgot the link was in the youtube demo video :/
