Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

Chris ,

yes I think setting a minimum spindle speed and then an increment for speed steps in preferences is fine

The mode button would be a lot more intutitive if it said MDI Mode, Auto Mode etc instead of Mode 0.

I'm actually running the 3-d chips file now on the mill...

I'm not sure how long ago you pulled..
I added a setting for spindle start rpm on the preference page. This is the rpm that the spindle will automatically start at when you first push the + button. ( of course you can directly enter an RPM using the set-rpm button and the entry widget)
It's not a minimum setting as you can use the - button to lower the RPM down to 100. This is an internal linuxcnc setting.
I could add a minimum preference and an increment preference ( keeping in mind this is just in manual mode)

I will push the mode button changes in a moment...

I pulled a couple of hours ago... I'm using DISPLAY = gscreen

The entry widget is capped at 1000

oops what would 9999 RPM b enough?

More than enough for me. Are you going to add a button in the spindle block to set the S speed? If so that's better than having to go all over the place to do something and drop the decimal for spindle speed. Having to double tap a button is not very reliable for me even with this expensive ELO screen.
