New GUI for embedded systems

Hi Travis,

That is a good idea for embedded system's.
The idea is that the user will never leave this machine interface and every action that needs to be performed will be available inside this UI.

I cloned the new Xmotion version. But for now run ./Xmotion was not working. Also the executable can't be found when starting.
I will give it a next try coming day's with fresh clone. What i usually do is get a clean pc or blanco hard drive and write the install step's yourself. That is the best way. I do this often to ensure myself working not out of the box.

We actually already have a customer that is very eager to get there hands on our embedded Gen2 control with this UI on their router table so we have committed to a 3-week timeline for them

I think that is not a good idea. First test it, and make modification's. I saw some plasma related code. This has to be modificated.
When you are so far, i can maybe help you with upgrading your code for using practical way. For now the difficult coding is up to you.

Take your time, if the product is good and tested, then you can publish it for download. You can even leave it private for your own
embedded controller. When you have a good product you don't have to worry. It's beginning to look like the beginning of Sheetcam.
Les Newell has no open source code. So keep that in mind.

For anyone that is interested in this project, here is a video of the UI making some cuts.

@Travis,

Very impressive that you can write your own gui and test it 2 weeks later on a real machine.
In my fact it took me more then 1.5 year in my spare time to do make a plasma gui.
This week i made a milling gui, i did that in a few day's, so i am improving also.

But i am impressed what you can do with the C language. If i say i am impressed, you are really a master kenobi.
I like this.

When your readme is fertig, i will try it later this week on a real machine also. I will make a wood pattern with a plasma gui for fun.

great work i'm impressed

Hi Travis,

I just did a new install to try out.

I use a newer linuxcnc version. So i go again and try to select no update's



Attached terminal message :


If i choose not to update i get :


Okey when i change in the Gen.ini :
[DISPLAY]
DISPLAY = Xmotion
to
[DISPLAY]
DISPLAY = grotius

Then i type : ./launch and it will startup an old grotius screen.

This old grotius screen startup's i must find out where that screen is living, see attachment.
But Travis application is starting up, so i am one step ahead.

That 'python/toplevel.py' thing creeps up when using remap.
Is there any remap used in that config ?
