I am interested what others will build with Gscreens infrastructure. I'm very impressed with Gmoccapy.

Thanks Chris,

and gmoccapy is still under development, there are still a lot of thinks to do, like HAL Pins for hardware connections to most functions, like they are included in nearly every industrial control. And also some special settings for the GUI.

May be somebody can help about the idea "Reload Tool on start up"
How to set the tool in spindle without having the machine homed or switched on.

tried again today to embed Onboard keyboard into Gscreen.
I have to do it by launching Onboard from within Gscreen and then reading the window id from stdin.

But when I do it blocks Gscreen permanently and never returns the id number.
I've been using variations of this:

def launch_keyboard(self,args="--xid",x="",y=""):
        print args,x,y
        try:
            self.data.ob = subprocess.Popen(["onboard",args,x,y])
            id = self.data.ob.comunicate[0]
        except:
            print _("error with 'onboard' on screen keyboard program")

If i comment out the id line then it launches fine and prints the id number to the screen.
I can use that number inn a socket program to embed to another window.
I just need another way to read the standard in....

Thanks Chris

Working on re-compiling now, as for the tool offset patch, we have our tool table set-up with tools 1-7, 11-17 and 10001-100017. The last ones, 10001-100017 are where you enter the amount of fine adjustment or "wear" to be applied to that tool. Even in Diameter mode you have to enter that value in radius though. When you call a tool say T0101 the last two numbers are what offset to call, which dosen't have to be the same as the tool number, you could theoretically use a couple different offset values, T0101, T0102, T0103, for different diameters on a single part to get every dimension dialled in exactly.

No Problem,

If I figured it anybody can, LOL

Rick

I don't honestly know what happened, but I swear I attached my tool file when I sent this reply. If I have a copy at home I will send it to you in a little while, if not first thing tomorrow.

Sorry about that CNCBasher

Hello Chris

I noticed one thing today, not a showstopper by any means, would there be a way to utilize the extra button in the debug menu to open up classicladder?

Thanks
