Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Norbert
I see that the MDI interface is not available if not homed. If the FORCE_NO_HOMING option is set, then one should have MDI available.

As far as I know, all functions should work as if homed if the NO_FORCE_HOMING option is set.

The goal here is to simplify the presentation of configs by the configuration picker AND to make sim configs run both in a RIP build and in an install from a deb.

Installing from a buildbot deb is much simpler for users who don't want to learn how to build a system from scratch, install all the dev packages, learn the intricacies of commandline autogen.sh, configure, and make, etc.

Thanks Garret, it makes sense. Just confused me for a while. Not so difficult to these days

Let me check that tomorrow, I just shut down my dev-computer.
It should work if the NO_FORCE_HOMING is set in the INI. I corrected that long time ago, but Chris just change some homing options in gscreen, so this may affect my settings.

Chris,

if you are still awake, could you check that?

Ok Norbert fixed

Thanks Chris, working well now.

I am not sure who is working on the code for this project. But here goes.

I just loaded the 2.6.pre on my YAM lathe yesterday. as a rule this interface is most of what I was looking for.

I have a HAAS mill and the things I am sugesting make it easy and quick to use.

1. Spindle.

In manual mode for the spindle.
loose the drag bar it does not work well and is clunky with a touch screen. add a +10% and a -10% along with the 100% instead.

make the area that you dispaly the selected speed in live.
Bring up a box to enter spindle speed and then press CW or CCW to start your spindle at the speed that you want.
hit area or button. call up keypad box. enter spindle speed. select spindle direction and away you go.

2. Joging.

again loose the drag bar. give me -10% +10% and 100% button.
Add a lock button inside the X Y Z. hit lock and either X+ or X- and the axis will move until you hit the limits.

Remove the continous button. Make the remaining buttons larger. key the 4 remaining buttons to:

.0001 per click on MPG or single button click to .100 IPM feed in lock
.0010 per click on MPG or single button click to 1.00 IPM feed in lock
.0100 per click on MPG or single button click to 10.0 IPM feed in lock
.1000 per click on MPG or single button click to 100. IPM feed in lock

This allows you to face turn etc. in a semi manual mode. I use this on my mill it is quick and dirty. you can use the +10% and -10% to increase and lower the selected feed.

Give outputs for all so that MPG wheel can act acourdingly.
also any press on a button X+ or Y- will change the focus for the MPG wheel. give me an output for this.

Your + and - 10% buttons will have an effect on the feed rate in auto and lock mode only.

On my mill there are 9 buttons that are active during lock feed and auto.

feed -10% +10% 100% MPG
spindle -10% +10% 100% MPG

Rapid -10% +10% 100% Changes speed for all axis

The rapid is nice with new code.

Hope this makes sense
