Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Norbert,

I have success.

Chown-R and chgrp -R and then make setuid.

Hi Norbert
If at all possible, could you provide a HAL pin for every custom box to hide or show the box please? This will be very handy for use with remap functions that only require the panel to be shown at certain times. One can now add several custtom panels without having the screen cluttered or destroyed by to much info on the screen at one time.

Thanks a lot man

Hallo Jim,

Did you make after the build

sudo make setuid
and
. ./scipts/rip-envionment

I think, you didn't.

Norbert

Hallo Marius,

You can do that youself, using a py file for your panel. Just create your own hal pin, like we are doing in plasma.py and write a handler to react to the changes of the pin.

Please try that and keep me informed, as I like your idear.

(Without testing:-)

Norbert

Dont worry, I will test. I will send it when it is done. Thanks for the tip.

Norbert
What editor do you use for writing the python programs in?

I just installed PyCharm IDE as it has code completion functionality. For my level of python knowledge it is required. Do you think that is the way to go?

Halo Marius,

I do use Aptana Studio 3, as I like it most of all the stuff I tried. It has code compltation as well as code checking.

And best, also a Debugger is included.
May be I can post later my settings, as the standard is not the best in my opinion.

I will also post a skeleton to beginn with if you want to add your own handlers.

Norbert

Hi Norbert
Yes that will be great. For the template and the settings please. I will get Aptana in the mean time.

Eclypse is a very powerfull IDE, but in my opinion to heavy to use it with pure python. And you have to install aditional parts to get python suport. Aptana is the small Eclypse with pydev (python support) on board.

I tested both and find Aptana to fit best my needs, but it is like most thinks in the world, there are several ways to reach your goal and each way has its own advantages.
