New GUI for Emc available for testing...

Ok, I just did a fresh install of EMC2 from the live CD and cannot get mocca to run.

I get the following message:

mocca: symbol lookup error: mocca: undefined symbol: _rs274ngc_errors

What do I need to do to fix this problem?

Thanks

I want those bigger buttons. I thank all you guys that make this stuff.

So, spent some time in France working on the new "Mocca" Gui.
The new version was released yesterday. At the moment i am working on the documentation.

So far the following things work:

1.) mocca can be fully "designed", you can change the Buttons,Colors etc.
2.) mocca has now its own controls:
MocButton (A Button with a "Command" for EMC)
MocSlider (A kind of Scrollbar but colored)
MocLister (A Listbox for NC-Code)
MocLed (a Simple LED-Control to show the machine status)
3.) mocca can use a "background" image behind the controls
4.) mocca can show a Preview & Live-Plot of the NC-Code
5.) preview can be "designed" also (Colors, Background etc)
6.) mocca can run NC- Scripts
7.) mocca can Edit your Tool-File, Tools can be selected from a List
8.) all "Command" buttons can be moved, sized, show Bitmaps, Text can be changed etc...
9.) rotate,zoom,pan of preview
10.) there are up to 10 OEM-Controls available for the User (Labels, Buttons)

A Binary version will be available end of this week...

Tom,

Great work!

My first thought: can I set up the buttons to correspond to the function keys on a keyboard (there are 12 and I don't need em for much)?

Is this thing still only in German?

Yes, you can setup the Buttons as you want,
you can change the Text, add a bitmap etc...

Well, Mocca uses "Layout" Files (i.E. mainform.xml)

In this file you can set your Labels,Buttons,Forms captions like you want, so changing a Dialogs- Caption
from German to English or whatever is easy, Just change the settings in the config or layoutfile.

I.e. the Tool-Edit Dialog loads the Columns from the config-file, If you change the Item "Beschreibung" to "Description" the Dialog will show the word "Description" in the Grid for the tools...

Some people in Germany are now starting to write some "lLayouts" for mocca, they will come as a packed file, just unpack the desired layout, edit your emc- inifile, add

[MOCCA]
config=/home/your_name/your_path_to_config

and mcca will start with the design and config in this directory...
