Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

Hallo Chris,

I found another thing, we should change.
You have a spindle_bar on your screen, so do I.

Shouldn't there be a INI Section for the min and max values to set to the widget?
Otherwise the user must change code to set the coresponding values.

I recommend and [SPINDLE] Section in the INI with
MIN_VEL =
MAX_VEL =

What do you think?

Norbert

There seems to be also a problem in linuxcnc, because

you can slow down Max_Vel and let jog vel at a higher speed.

Now you can jog faster than the max velocity set.

If I leave gscreen with a visible cursor, I am able to restart gscreen from the terminal without any problem, just when the cursor was hideen when closing gscreen, the server crashes.

How can I find out what hapens?

Norbert

I tried again with default Gscreen - no problems.
I don't know how to pin point closer.
can you try different computer?

This would seem convenient for the user. You can change this now by editing the GLADE file.
though it should be in the [DISPLAY] section
What is min_vel for?
The display should always show 0 as a minimum, don't you think?

You can change the highlight color of the offset editor - either in the GLADE editor or with a python call.
See industrial for a code example.

DTG's DRO color in industrial can be changed now.

Hallo Chris,

MIN_VEL is to set the minimum revolutions of the spindel. There are Spindles on some machines witch need a minimum spindle speed to work properly. You are Right, in your opinion, that most users will give a cero value here,

Will you include it? I did so in gmoccapy.
