hazzy - Another touchscreen GUI

I originally posted this in the "Screen shots of gui designs" thread. Since there appears to be interest I am opening this thread for further discussion. Please feel free to ask questions and post suggestions/comments. I will also be updating this thread as I make changes/improvements to the GUI.

This is hazzy.

I made this UI for use on my RF45 type milling machine. It is intended for use exclusively with a touchscreen and a basic control panel or MPG. There are popup keypads and numpads on all entries. It borrows a lot of code from Gmoccapy, Gscreen and the VCP widgets. It supports up to 5 axes, including gantry type machines. It is far from finished but mostly fully functional.



Source code is here:

Seen it on the other thread, on a phone (full HD phone), but now i saw it on a full HD 23" monitor, man i like it more.
It is nice and elegant and simple, but has everything needed.
I am a hard core AXIS user, liked it since the days of ubuntu 8.04.
I also like Gmoccapy a lot, but rarely use it.
This is getting very interesting, having multiple very nice choices !
Regards and thank you.

This needs to be added to linuxcnc
Where are you in readiness ? Is it fully functional now?

Thanks Tommy!

Chris, the UI is fully functional in that I run my mill with it with out problems, BUT, there is a lot more that needs to be done before I would consider it fit for general use. For example, I don't know how it would work with say a physical cycle start connected in HAL, it would probably work fine, but there are a lot if things like that that I have not considered yet.

I don't know what adding hazzy to the LCNC repo would consist of, but I guess if it is just as easy to develop it there we could add it sooner rather than latter if that is what is best. I have enough learning to do as it is, so I want to keep things as simple as possible

It is very nice GUI, I like a lot.

do you have a plan to make a plasma version?

I have installed it yesterday but it did not run, I will continue today.

thanks very much for the great work.

I'm glad you like it!

I do plan on adding a plasma version eventually, but instead of making a whole nother UI I would like to make it so that it is easy to embed custom panels in the lower part of the screen. Then for a plasma table you would simply tell the UI to load the plasma specific panels. I have no clue how to do this yet, but most of the other UIs support embedded panels so I should be able to look at their code and figure it out.

Sorry to hear you are having trouble getting it to run. I did break it with a bad commit yesterday afternoon so maybe you should pull a new version and try that. If it still does not run let me know what errors you get and I'll try and help.

Thanks!
Kurt
