Cut Rifling Machine Help

Yes, we have designed what we want the screen to look like and even the process of setting the job on paper. We did decide on four tabs/screens as mentioned before. It made sure you'd go in a set order and not miss anything that would crash it when starting the job. The rifling cutter heads are difficult to make so we try and protect them as much as possible. But looking at it now you could just fit it all on one screen.

I have done some basic configs to make sure the wiring, E stops and motors work and get to explore how the Hal and ini files work. Just did basic moves with some G Code. Still just reading and watching videos on customizing the GUI and how to connect pins to buttons etc.

Not to sure on starting from 0 to required twist. Im sure its been tried but ive never seen it done in person. I suspect its asking to much of the bullets jacket to go from 0 to 8 and may strip or disintegrate it upon leaving the muzzle. 

    

My preferred one was an immensely heavy Martini-action '22. Nobody else liked it, but I found the stability helpful. It didn't occur to me at the time, but it could have been very old.

It was. They went into service in 1871 and were used for 47 years. I think quite a few were converted to target rifles.
I have fond memories of a .310 calibre Martini Cadet which I restored and carried in a saddle scabbard down the front shock of a motor bike when mustering in the late 70s. Together we dispatched quite a few wild pigs. The projectile weighed 120 grains and lumbered along at about the same velocity as your .22.

How is this going? Do you have any specific questions on implementation?

Taking very small steps tbh. I cant stress enough how new I am to this again. Just started learning how to make buttons in Glade and connecting them up through Hal Config. 

Spent last night trying to install the touch screen drivers which hit a dead end quite quickly but think ive worked out how to do it now. 

I will post some picture of the machine at some point to show how its looking and for anyone interested

For your application it is probably worth noting the info hidden in section7.6
This can be used to pass values to a G-code subroutine.

As a concrete example, I have a GUI which has an "action button" which contains the command:
This calls a G-code programme, passing the values of various Glade "HAL_Spinbutton" controls to the G-code as paramenters #1, #3 etc.

I think that this is how I would configure your rifling machine, with a G-code subroutine that cuts rifling according to the parameters passed in (such as length, lead, number of grooves etc)
