Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

this is the line at fault
15ccgscreen.hal:279: Pin 'gscreen.change-tool' does not exist

try moving the toolchanger parts to the end of the hal file or after hal is loaded as a post hal file etc

as the gui has not loaded at the time this line is reached then the change tool is not present
best to have your ladder etc loading last perhaps

Hallo Rick,

cncbasher is right,

all the gscreen pins will not be availibla before the GUI is loaded, so you must transfer the complete gscreen thinks to a postgui.hal file.
Do not forget to include the postgui.hal file in your INI, it must be named in the HALUI section.

Hey Guys,

That did the trick, I moved everything related to gscreen to my post gui hal file and know we are flyin. Just started to get the operation figured out and it was quittin time. Hopefully tomorrow we can load some parts and make some things happen.

Thanks for the help,

Rick

glad you sorted it out ok

Everything is looking good so far, but I'm not sure how to perform a tool touch off, to start setting my tools. I brought my #1 tool up, faced the part and G92 z0.000 and turned a diameter of 1.422 so I G92 x1.422, indexed to tool 14 and touched off on the part, but now not sure how to get it into my tool table correctly?

Hallo Rick,
Even if this is off topic, I will try to answer:

why you use G92 for this?

Just turn your part to lets say 1,5 inch, set your axis to X 1.5
Now change the tool and touch off with the new tool, now we got i.e. X = 2,0
so there is a difference from 0.5 inch, that is the offset for tool 2 and that is the value you have to enter in the tool table.

Tool 1 is then your reference tool and has an offset from "0"

If you have set up all your tools, get back to tool 1.
And from now on you will have to get tool offset correction after each tool change with G43 and friends
