Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello Gary,

As for the mpg selections , I'm not sure on those, we do all selecting on the mpg, not the screen or keyboard, as for the tool change command, this is exactly what you are looking for.

linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/20-...fset-patch?start=100

Take a look at the last post on this thread, I started this a long time ago, and we finally got it working late last year, and it works flawlessly


Thanks

Rick

Yes. Have a look at the sim/axis/lathe-fanucy sample configuration. That does (almost) exactly that, and the "almost" can be fixed with tweaks to the G-code subroutine.

@Garry,

Remap is a linuxcnc isue and will not affect the gui. It will work.

Hal pins for jogging no problem, just see the WIKI or the included documentation for the pin offered.

If you need other button, you can add a custom panel with the buttons you need.

Norbert,

I am feeling dumb today. How do I update to the latest 1.5.3.x of GMOCCAPY using GIT on version 2.6.7.
Does it need to be compiled compiled into 2.6.7 or can I just move the files over from Linuxcnc-dev.
If they can be moved what files and to where.

Thank you Norbert

MDI issues. I use the MDI allot, at least atm, I also use a physical keyboard for this purpose and one frustration I have is when I am reusing a command from the history my enter key will not execute the command. So instead I have to press the very small return button on the screen which is so small I worry about pressing something else.

Thanks all.

Gary, take a look at my last post on my "Tool Offset Patch" thread mentioned above.

It should clear, things up,

Also let's move the conversation over to that thread any way, so we don't get this thread off topic.

Thanks

Rick
