Hello everyone 
I want to create a new screen for a machine that i am working on 
Qtdragon seems ideal for me but i need to modify it by deleting some sections that i don't need and adding other sections and buttons i already installed glade and also qt creator. 
The board that am using ( mesa 7i76e) is in the machine and it's a bit far from me i couldn't use it for now so i can't create a project using my board configuration 
So i need to create a modified qtdragon template or modifying the .ui file of the qtdragon template 
When i create sim project based on qtdragon i couldn't find where i should make the modifications (.ui file doesn't exist in my project directory)
Anyone has an idea how to do that ? 
Thanks in advance

thanks for the hint with the wiki! -). I just added this under "Misc stuff".

Thanks.

I soldered both resistors in the + und - Line inside the plasma source and also connected the 2 torch-start pins of the plasma-source with the Spindle enable + and Spindle enable - -Pin of the Mesa 7i76e-board.

When I power up the plasmacutter it instantly fires although the torch is not activated in plasmac. When I remove the 2 wires from spindle enable +- then the plasmacutter doesn't start when powered up.

When I measure between s-en+ and e-en- with a multimeter there is no connection but the plasma fires when started. Maybe somebody has an idea ? Do I need an additional relays ? With the hypertherm powermax 1000 G3 on the same mesa-card this didn't happen ?

Maybe sb has an Idea?

Okay so I ordered a 7i76eu board a 10.9 touch screen a vandal resistant keyboard and mouse and a little fan less pc. 5v powersupply and a 24v powersupply. A incremental ebay linear encoder. I also programmed a little python program that will act as a gui.  

You could consider adding this to the Wiki too.

FWIW the penguin is called "Chips" (though I don't recall if he capitalises his name)

Hi everybody,
i found some threats (e.g. Simulate a mesa 7i96 (solved)) where a component was written for mocking a 7i96e mesacard. Nevertheless i didn't found this component code published and as i'm using myself a 7i76e card i wrote a component on my own for mocking/simulating this driver.
My idea was to use the same .ini and .hal-files (and .tcl-files with some if statements -)) as on my real milling machine to keep the adaptions between simulation and real machine as low as possible.
In case it is interesting/helpful, i put the component-code on github.com/pkl42/linuxcnc_components_sim.git 
Also not all available pins are included right now, i added a detailed list on the git repository.
I tried to write the component in a generic way, so it should be quite easy to add missing pins or even adapting a 7i95 or 7i96 card.
