Conversational CAD CAM

Hey guys just wanted to upload this config with a cnc conversational gcode software.  I will try make some videos as this is the coolest thing ever i think.  its all made with claude so i can't really take credit for it.  but i have been machining for 16 years now and used fagor and semiens lathe controls with conversational software like shop turn.  and this is the closest i could make to something like that.  this runs as a  embedded glade vcp tab in axis gui.  so as simple as you can get with linuxcnc.  and has no dependancy's that i could find,  everything runs on python and there is no subroutines in the conversational software.  so if you want to add this to your own config i think that all you will need to do is copy any python files you can find and add the right lines to the ini to load the glade tab which you can copy from my ini.

All code is long hand so no canned cycles.  and the profile cycles are made based off the linuxcnc canned cycles.

you can reload a old program made with this back into the conversational software and make changes in a few seconds and re post it.  

this is still a work in progress but its been running large cnc lathes for a few weeks and no issues so far.  and you can see in the preview anyway  enjoy and if anyone uses it let me know cheers.  just hoping to give back a little to linuxcnc a bit and this has been massively missing for ages.  even ecam only does mills i think.



if you want to install this i have made it as simple as i know how to.  
step 1 if on a brand new install from the ISO then open the linuxcnc config picker first and open any sim.  that will make folders for linuxcnc and configs etc
step 2 copy and past this file into the normal configs directory.  and unzip or unzip before copying

open the linuxcnc config picker again and open this config.  click desktop shortcut.

run it post code and have a look.

Ps just a few things to warn about.  this uses chris morley's wear patch so t0101  and also uses g30 for tool change positiion.  and assumes a encode for g33.1 tapping and for threading

this was tested today on a fresh install of 2.10 cheers
