Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

Ok I pushed the mode button text and raised the entry widget to 10000 and the preference spinbox to 10000

spindle button (in manual mode) allows you to select a direction and speed. using the fwd/rev buttons then the +- keys
After you pick a direction you can also directly enter the speed you want by entering it in the entry widget and pressing set-RPM

The vertical side buttons are fairly generic - by selecting an axis or spindle allows you to do specific things with the +- buttons for instance

In the other modes (MDI and Auto) I should de-sensitize the spindle button I guess.

Hi Chris,

the changes are looking good. I am frantically wiring things up so I can use this for real.

This is what the unmodified Gscreen displayed like



You can see the "G Codes Active" make a long line that pushes the right hand side of the screen out of view.

What I changed was the "width in characters" of that box. probably not the correct way of fixing it but it worked



Maybe I have something else set wrong if no one else is having these problems. I am using metric units if that makes a difference.
Thanks for the ongoing efforts.

Jayson.

The latest version works without modification.

Chris, if you have done something different, thank you,
If not I'm not sure what's going on but it works.

Yes I automatically wrap the Gcodes now. Your info was the clue I needed.

I just pushed a fix for metric conversion when using G21/G20 mode and the basic machine measurement didn't match.

I am still working out the spindle controls....

I pushed some changes to manual spindle control along the lines John was talking of...
