Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Hallo Marius,

both changes has been applied and the new plasma version has been pushed.

gmoccapy ver. 0.9.9.8.2
- gmoccapy_plasma, changed signal pin names to follow the pin naming convention
- included THC Button state in persistence (plasma.var)

Norbert

Thanks Norbert
You are a champion.

Norbert,

Working with the tool table today. There are a couple of things.

When adding new tool or editing the TAB key should add the number into the location and then move to the net entry location for entry of the next number.
When I try to touchoff X or Z it takes me out of the tool editor and does not enter this number into the tool table. It should input the actual machine locaton into the tool table.
When I have a tool already entered into the tool table when I ty to touchoff Z I receive a conversion error. Wrong entry for touchoff Z.

Is there anyway when setup for the lathe that you can put up the diagram for tool Orientation. I have to grab a piece of paper every time I setup a new tool.
Also is there anyway to rename the fields to make sense for turning tools.

T - tool number - integer, 0-99999 (you can have a large number of tools in inventory)
P - pocket number - integer, 1-99999 (tool table has a lower number of entries, currently 56)
D - tool diameter - floating-point, absolute value
X..W - tool length offset on specified axis - floating-point
I - front angle (lathe only) - floating-point
J - back angle (lathe only) - floating-point
Q - tool orientation (lathe only) - integer, 0-9
; - beginning of comment - text

Thanks fo the great work. I am really enjoying useing gmoccapy.

Norbert,

More playing with the tool table.

It should only allow one tool to be selected checked at a time.

The check box should check if you touch anywhere on a line for a tool.


Thanks again

Jim

Norbert,
i'm playing with toolchange and wiki says:

but change.ngc is a small file with few lines

what i'm missing?

thank you for the great job.

Halo Jim,

the tool table widget is from Chris, I am using it only. I agree, that there are options, on my wish list. I am sure Chris is following this thread and may be he find some time to add your wishes to the glade widget. I am quiet bussy at the moment with the tool change with auto tool measurement.

I am on the way to push, I already updated the WIKI, and today I will add some videos on you tube, hopefully being able to push tomorrow.
I must finish the doku first, otherwise I will not be able to ask all questions

Please give me some time.

Norbert

Halo balestrino,

you are just to fast for me

I have not even pushed the needed files;-) Because I think the doku must be done first, please stay on the threat, I will inform as soon I pushed all necessary files.

Norbert

gmoccapy_0_9_9_9

tool change with tool length measurement

ver. 0.9.9.9
- gmoccapy is now able to do auto tool measurement after an manual tool change
- introduced a ini config to simulate that
- still to do: If user clicks on aboard while the tool change message window is still open
or he closes the window with the small X on the right upper corner, the hal pin will
not be reset properly

Please do not test this, without reading the WIKI and it might help to watch the related videos on you tube.

Please do not comment my very perfect machine with the vise glued with tabe on the table

Norbert

Norbert, nice job, thanks.
On my side, I have implemented few features for Gmoccapy in a wrapper.
You can get my full config from here: blog.f1oat.org/linuxcnc/
May be you can take some code to enhance Gmoccapy.
It provides:

• automatic tool table update based on special tags in ngc file
• automatic handling of reference tool length when Z probing is used
• block G-CODE window update when running subroutines
• Automatic probing of the workpiece thanks to a small piece of PCB used as a contact area. Handle the PCB thickness.
• Automatic tool length measurement and compensation
• Machine park feature
• Goto manual tool change position
• JOG-WHILE-PAUSED feature based on M60 REMAP
• Tested with Gmoccapy 0.9.9.8.1

My automatic tool length measurement may be redundant with what is now integrated in the last Gmoccapy release.
I have to check if it does the same things.
Frederic.

Halo Frederic,

thanks a lot for sharing your work.
I will take a closer look to that, as you included some interesting features!

Norbert
