Modification on the Interface

Good day, I was wondering if someone can give me any advice on, How can I add to the interface, buttons or something similar, to select type of material, and based on that to calculate the spindle speed and the feed rate? just the calculation, I don't need the parameters to modify the LinuxCNC programming, I just need for the parameters to be displayed.

Thank you for your help.

Hi
i missed the Wizard Ball
WHAT interface are you talking it is realy lots of out there
like Plasmac Gmoccapy

I just need to add a bottom or something similar to calculate RPM, and the feed rate (after the user selects the type of material, I have the formulas and the data needed for the calculation). I think is simply, but I have no idea of how to research for it

This would be something you would generally build with gladevcp or (in master) qtvcp.
For instance there is a calculator widget that might be a useful base.
You could make it a gladevcp panel and use python extensions to do the calculations you want.

Usually you need to know cutter diameter, rpm, cutting surface speed and number of teeth. These could be entered via spinboxes, comboboxes or entryboxes.

Thanks for answering, that gives me something to research about, I was planning on do it with pyVCP, but I don't think I can use it for calculations.

yes pyvcp doesn't allow user-side python code to be added.
gladevcp is much more powerful.

Would love to see your interface when you are done. It would probably make a good general widget for linuxcnc too.

there needs to be a mashine factor also
as chees milles will not take iron Hurco Data

there are tables from tool makers you can keep up within a standalone Spreedsheet
even on linuxcnc
