Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

I will check how difficult it would be to integrate linuxcnc-features in gmoccapy. I do thing linuxcnc-features should be a part of linuxcnc and should standard for 2.7 release.

I will ask Mick about his opinion.

If we can get the linuxcnc-features into Gmoccapy then maybe it is all we need for now. I saw today on the Russian forum that someone has built it into Gmoccapy but I cannot see how as my Russian is non-existent


I agree the Mach screen has to much info but the probing functions is what we need to look at. I just posted that to show some example.

@ssalrin,

I do have plans to include such a probing page, but because of leak of time I did not begin yet.
The image from Mach3 does IMHO contain to much information. I would prefer a page with the probing button on the left side and some input pages on the right, only showing the relevant information, may be even with a small image.

If you want to do the first steps, please make the corresponding button Icon and send them with a GPL license.
Make a first design of how it should look, a small basic documentation. And we do need the corresponding ngc-code.

Norbert,

With what little I can comprehend of linuxcnc-features thus far, I agree, it would be a compliment to an already outstanding interface you have created. I do not even have my machine yet, and was dreading getting back into linux after many years. Then I found your work, and all the wonderful supportive people, a community if you will. Now I find myself looking forward to becoming a contributing member. Thank you for being a part of that.
I'm afraid I know very little, but I do have a smattering of a graphic background. I'll be glad to see what I can do about buttons, if you really think I'd be of help. I'll do what I'll I can.

@Scott,

just make the ICOn and a very basic layout, I will try to do the rest

I'll try, but I was reminded that I need to "stay on task", by my wife

Do they need to be in any special format?

Hallo,

just make them gif or png in a size of 48 x48 Pixel as first step. More important is the basic layout showing all needed Button and input boxes.

Me too, my duty list is getting longer and longer ...

Hi Norbert
I can do a glade panel if you want. I also really need the probing functions so I dont mind doing it. I was going to do my own anyway. Just let me know.

Hallo Marius,

let Scott do it, so he has also a learning curve

You won't hurt my feelings, Marius, are you married? LOL Seriously I won't bet at it for over a week or more. I am setting up my shop, and my machine arrives early next week... I will be glad to participate, but don't want to hold up progress.

@ Scott
It is no problem at all. I will leave it up to Norbert to decide. As he said, it is a good thing to learn ho to do it.
I am married but a lot older than most so I dont have to much pressure from the other side I do pretty much what I please.

@ Norbert
Your call friend.
