Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Hallo Marius,

after an update please do the following:
after that copy :
gmoccapy_handler.py
gmoccapy.glade

The ICON folder (only needed if I do change ICON or renamed some. If you do not change ICON, it is best to just copy the folder)

to your own config folder.

If you want to use translation of the GUI, than you must copy the locale folder also to your config folder,
you do not have to delete your preference file.

Than it should work out of the box.
If I do change hal pin names or add new hal pin, I will advice that within the release notes. You will find that file in the sim/gmoccapy folder.

What is the exact error this time? I do suppose that icon view could not be registered, because that was the main changes I made.

Hi Norbert

I usually do the complete cleanup and build after an upgrade. I think the problem here was two fold. As I have been testing a lot of Gscreen and Gmoccapy stuff, there could have been issues with the preference files. After I deleted them Gmoccapy would load but with errors of cannot find icon. I then copied the icons folder as well and the problem was solved.
I have written a script for my components to be copied to the right place and I will just add all the files as well as the icons to the list for Gmoccapy.

Just some feedback. The parts for my integrated controller is going for production this week so hopefully we will have the complete product running on a machine in the next couple of weeks. I am very excited about that. I will post some pictures once it is done.

@Marius,

Please report over the results of your test with the controller! And post as much photos you can!
That is exactly the use I made gmoccapy for!
Unfortunately I have to decide go on with the development of gmoccapy or build my own controller panel.

And at the moment I want to add my own error handling and some g-code generator from Rene, so there is still a lot of work to do!

What? When I discovered Gmoccapy you are considering leaving it?! No way pal, you're stuck!

When it is done you can see if you like it. We can arrange for you to get one.

I tested the DRO problem again and this is what I found

With DTG set and you toggle between G54 and ABS you will find that the text colour that was selected in the settings tab was actually applied to the DRO background. So in short the background colour changes instead of the text colour.

Also I set the NO_FORCE_HOMING in my ini file but that is ignored. Is this supposed to be or is there a procedure here?
