Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

You need to copy the industrial.glade and industrial_handler.py file to your personal config folder.
i don't think i did anything to the INI file...

I think that should do it.

That could have been it. I just rebuild LinuxCNC when something goes wrong. I have a script file I run in termninal and it does the work.

ok I added an offset page to Gscreen.

I guess it's kinda boring looking but it does show ALL the offsets.
It's a gladeVCP widget too if anyone is building their own stuff.

I see I forgot to give the tooledit page the option to change metric systems... ill get that later I guess.

Chris,

1. The at speed indicator is still green before it is set, please make it black unless it is at speed.

2. In program mode the EDIT doesn't toggle to EXIT when edit is selected.

3. MDI can't have multiple lines of commands because of LinuxCNC right?

You could do it like my DX-32 does you enter all the lines of G code you want into the MDI window and it just creates a file MDI.TXT (it uses the TXT extension) and runs that.

Hallo Chris,

I just took a look to your "Offset Page" Because I was thinking about that too.
I wonder, why you list the coordinate systems in rows and the coordinates in lines,
while in the tool editor tab it is viceversa.

I suggest to get an uniform layout for both.

And there is another think I cant understand, please make the following:

- Emergency off
- Machine on
- home all axis
- jog all axis around and then Zero Origin for all axis
- change to auto mode
- load examples spiral.ngc
- go back to manual mode
- jog to an other position, lets say go down 20 mm or 1 inch with Z
- Say cero origin
- go back to auto mode
- run the program

and then wonder where gremlin paints the tool path.

Regards Norbert

John,

Are you saying that gscreen could create a file when entering multiple lines of g-code or that you could create a seprate file and then run it?
