Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Hi Norbert

I have been unable to reproduce the run problem at this point.
My gut feeling is it has to do with the first run when I received the (not in auto mode error).

I will keep working on it.

Norbert,

How do I use my keyboard and keypad in MDI mode.

Jim

Hallo Jim,

Nice fixture of the monitor
What size is it? 10 or 15 "?
Type and Model would be nice.

if the keypad works as a keyboard, it should work out of the box, but if not, you will have to create some component, to translate the signals emmitted from your panel to keyboard events.

Norbert

P.S.
I see on the foto, that you are using the screen with shown DRO Button, are they important for you?
I was thinking about deleting them, as switching happens automaticaly according to gcode.
Do you work with metric dro, while your machine is in imperial?

Dear All,

first of all a very Happy New Year.

Norbert,

is it possible to put gmoccapy under LinuxCNC 2.5.3. edition?

Thanks,
Dejan

No it's not. Gmoccapy uses features only in the development version (master aka 2.6)

Norbert,


The monitor is a Planar 12 inch Made in Beaverton Oregon. It was made for cars (think cops). It outputs 1200 nits super brite.
The touchscreen module is LED around the outside edge. Last but least it runs on 12 volts DC. I purchased it for $170.00 surplus.

My whole control system, Computer keyboards etc. run off a single 24volt DC 10 amp power supply. I use a 24volt to 12 volt converter for the monitor.
I use a 160 watt car Power supply that runs off 24 volts for the The PC. The Motherboard is an Intel mini ITX board. All limits etc. are 24volt.

Everything was chosen to run off the single 24 volt PS. There is only 1 220 volt connection in the servo power supply cabinet.
All other supply voltages are 24 volts or less. It makes things neat and safe.

Some how the keyboard locked up. I have never seen that. It was after I disabled the keyboard in MIDI.
The keyboard is an Preh 60 key programable.

I use SAE or what you call imperial. I prefer manual changes auto switching on the DRO. So yes I would like to keep the buttons.

PS.

Sorry for the duct tape. I have not machined the new bezel yet so it looks crude. I also have not engraved the new front panel.
I am still working on what is and is not needed for easy operation.

Thanks for your work Norbert.

Jim
