Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Norbert,

Button focus. when you touch a mode button IE: MDI, Run pgm, Jog. The mode button is only highlighted while it is being pushed.
After that it is no longer highlighted until you move focus to another part of the screen. This should always be highlighted once is is pressed.


Thank you for the great interface

Jim

@Jim,

Potmeter i possible , just use a scale component in you hal file and set scale and offset according your needs. It is just a matter of linear regression.

The spindle error has been fixed in ver. 1.5.2.2, so i asume you do run an older Version.

The active mode button should have a yellow bachground if you use the standard theme.

Norbert,

I just upgraded to this version with 2.6.7 last Thursday using synaptics manager.

Is there something else I need to do to get the latest GMOCCAPY version Or do I just force a reinstall.

As far as the active mode buttons. You press the button it turns to yellow.
you let up from the button and it goes to white. (unselected color even though it is.)
You press any other part of the screen and it then goes yellow.

Thanks again
Jim

I am using Gmoccapy version 1.5.2.2, LinuxCNC 2.7.0-pre5, Debian 7 with all the updates and I can confirm the spindle error and button color issues mentioned by Jim, when using a touchscreen.


Norbert, I didn't know we could alter the button images in Gmoccapy, this is a great feature! Would it cause any issues if I went into the gmoccapy.glade file and changed some of the labels to better match my systems?

IS there any way to show the Y offset in the tool information box? Z and X are there but no Y

Jim and Todd,

I am out of home this week, so let me check later with my touch screen.
I only can push the patches to git, and i can not take any influence on how often the debian packages are updated. So if you use the normal repository, the updates do come later. If you use buildbot, it will be faster and with git you do have them on the fly. Buildbot is a good choise in my opinion.

The most recent gmoccapy is 1.5.3.1

Hi
I have a few similar questions. I am in the process of retrofitting a turning center and I am using the Gmoccapy gui. I would like to set the mpg axis select and scale using the axis and jog increment soft keys already in the gui as I have done on my 5 axis machining center that I retrofitted running the Axis gui. I selected the pins using axisui in the hal file, does Gmoccapy have a similar method?
Also, I set the tool turret as a locking rotary axis and it homes and operates with G0 A X.XXXX commands right now. Can I remap my T command to an ngc file for each of the 8 tool stations? I would prefer to issue tool change commands in the standard T0101 method used in industrial CNC controls, but T1M6 would be alright for now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
