Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

@Ben

Now I just need to work out why the maximum machine speed seems to have dropped to 60mm/min. It's buried in the config files somewhere!

we had this already, please see the wiki for the INI file settings needed.

You missed to

3.4. The TRAY Section

MAX_VELOCITY = 230.000

Sets the maximal velocity of the machine, this value will also take influence to default velocity.

Hi Chris,
I am a little bit confused about what a compiled master is. I never know what is referred to.
I have a version 2.5.2 from the CD and upgraded. Then I have a develop version 2.6.0 pulled from master.
I did the ./autogen, ./configure, make, sudo setuid stuff.
Then I made a copy of the Gmoccapy under the configs directory.
Now I need to make a Plasma version of the screen. I have a whole lot of stuff that I want on the main screen for the plasma version.
Then I need to make the dev version my distribution package.

How do you suggest I go about doing this in the right way please.

P.S. This will be the first time that I make changes to the provided code - so I am new to it

Marius,

you need to start glade from a terminal after . ./scripts/rip-environment. If you want to add new features or if you delete some items, you will need to edit also the gmoccapy_handler.py file.

If you just want to hide some items you can do that fine with the glade editor. If you need additional button, I would recommend to add these buttons as an user tab, and make the connections to hal in you postgui hal file, instead of touching the original code. That is much easier for a beginner and would avoid to make all changes you made again, after updating to newer versions.

Thanks for the good advice. I would like to put the stuff on a user tab but it has to go on the main window as the user can change settings while the machine is running.
Can that be done on a user tab while the machine is running?

EDIT: Maybe if I could have a tab next to the DRO tab?

greetings,

Marius, not that hard, just notice how to set gmoccapy norbert I my GUI suits my needs, and I have no knowledge at all of python, gtk, glade and others.

if you can do it with buttons HAL, is easier.

would be good to tell what changes to make, to help you better.

I add more than 15 options, but only necessary for my machine. and I say a little analysis of the work of Norbert, Norbert and Chris are all well developed, only apply.

sorry my english, other problem

Hallo Marius,

Can that be done on a user tab while the machine is running?

yes you can add user Tabs in different locations!
Please visit the WIKI and read "tabs and Side Panel" for all the details.

Hi Norbert
I have done just that and placed a tab but I am thinking to block out the spindle and cooling functions and place the Plasma functions there. Do you think that could be done so that I can turn the one or the other on with a setting?
