Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

So I will have to speed up
2 of my German testers are also waiting.

There are still some things to implement, before beginning the lathe mode.
At the moment I am reworking the complete Settings Page:
I introduced o lot of user defined settings, so a need to get a better layout.

And to be complete I need to implement "reload tool on start up",
After that Lathe will start!

Please give me some more time.

Norbert

gmoccapy now in ver. 0.9.1

ver 0.9.1


I mainly reworked the complete settings page and solved some smaller bugs-
In detail:

New settings page:
- show offsets and show dtg for gremlin are only sensitive if show gremlin DRO
is active, other behavior makes no sense

- settings page can be reached now also in estop state

- desktop notify can be disabled in settings page, makes the gui faster

- file to load on start up can be selected on settings page

- added a checkbox to select the use of keyboard shortcuts

- spindle settings moved from INI to the settings page and preference file

- DRO settings changed in settings page, checkboxes instead of toggle button
and all settings related to DRO in one frame

- added scale settings for the hardware mpg encoders to move the sliders,
otherwise for max vel being 14000 the changes was to small, counting one by one

- hardware keyboard now works also in settings page and debug page

- Screen2 can be shown now, but I noticed, that if the screen is very complex,
the application will crash!


And some other changes:
- in init_file_to_load added a selection of filters given in INI File

- button save and run has now a tool tip text,

- check on macro execution for errors before starting the macro

- reconnected the sim spindle to gmoccapy

- in MDI Mode giving S0 now switch the spindle off

- from INI [DISPLAY] min_spindle_overide is used to set the slider limits

- def init_gremlin now in gmoccapy, to avoid widget name conflicts



the WIKI has been updated allready!
I strongly recommend an update!

Now I will begin to work on the lathe version!

Norbert

Norbert good job, look who is coming out this error when we give in full screen gremlin





Jorge Viloria

Oh I mist renaming one widget.

Please open gmoccapy_handler.py

and edit line 844

change:to
I missed that.

Will make a patch very soon

Norbert

Norbert,

Thank you so much for this GUI...I really like the format! The thank you also extends to Chris and all his work too!

One thing I noticed is my keyboard PageUp and PageDown keys work the Z axis backwards. It works fine for the X & Y and my MPG works OK.

Keep up the excellent work.

Jim

The above mentioned bug has been fixed.
Please update to gmoccapy 0.9.1.1

Norbert

Norbert, a problem in the tooleditor, I spend as in industrial-GScreen.

I can not change my tooleditor manually. and the problem is generated by the (return True) at the end of the commands (up, down, left, right)

but if you remove the (return True) faders (Slider) start moving when you press the arrow keys (up, down, left, right)

For me it's bad, because I use the style tool fanuc pacth change. I change the hand tool wear.



in industrial-gscreen can not edit the program

thanks.

gmoccapy 0.9.2 has been released

Now gmoccapy does support also lathes.
Just include in your INI in

[DISPLAY]
LATHE = 1

as usual and you get the lathe layout.

Second new function is tool touch off.
You will find 2 button on the tooleditor page to touch off Z and X axis, while in mill mode you will not see the X touch off button.
The button will emit an MDI command like "G10 L10 P3 X2.356" where P3 represents the tool in spindle and X2.356 the value to set in X.
It is an error if Cutter Compensation is on

The DRO background from D and R DRO will change its color according to active G Code G7 / G8 the active one has an black background, the other one is gray.

There are also some minor changes in keyhandling, as the keyboard keys are different for lathe and mill:

Lathe:
arrow left = Z minus
arrow right = Z plus
arow up = X minus
arrow down = X plus
page up = no action
page down = no action
ESC = emc aboard (stop riunning program)
F1 = estop
F2 = machine on/off

Mill:
arrow left = X minus
arrow right = X plus
arow up = Y plus
arrow down = Y minus
page up = Z plus
page down = Z minus
ESC = emc aboard (stop riunning program)
F1 = estop
F2 = machine on/off

Please test and let me know what you miss.

Norbert

Norbert.

When compensated in X I assume the radius not the diameter.

This enabled the G8, entered the table, pressed Key touchoff digit tool X and the diameter of the workpiece. but places it on the radio.

I hope you understand me.


thanks for your great effort.

Jorge

Halo Jorge,

the command executed by the button is

G10 L10 P3 X2.356

The X value given is the value you entered and it will be the X value.

If you are in G7 Mode the value you enter is the diameter, else it is the radius.

So IMHO it is working like it should.
