Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Andy,
That was the info I needed. When I ran stepconf, I had it include a blank ladder program, and that was causing the error. Now I can move forward.
Thanks!
Todd

Halo Andy,

Thanks for the support, I am on holliday and have only my phone here.
Give me some more time and be aware of luminos. I am sure it will be your GUI.

Hi
Have a anoying problem that i get a long line of numbers.
Anyone got any thaughts on what i have done wrong?

Hi
Look in the INI file under the [TRAJ] section you will find and entry MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY = xxx. Change that entry to MAX_VELOCITY = xxx

Thanx!
Now the numbers are gone.

I did report that error from stepconf allready, should be fixed from Chris soon.

Hi Norbert!
im a totaly new user to LinuxCNC and this screenset have given me a realy good feeling for LinuxCNC (changed to gmoccapy directly)

i have a question/suggestion regarding the "Auto Tool Measurement" function.
i watched the videos and i think i understand how it works and it looks very handy.
Have not tried it yet though but got thinking of the step where you messure the blockhight with a digital caliper.
Would it be possible to make that step with the use of a spindle probe?

Then it would be:

1. Mount spindle probe in spindle
2. Jog the machine over the corner on the raw stock
3. press a button (macro) related to what corner to find xyz with the help of the spindle probe.
(Or only z probe at current position if its center of a circle that cant be probed)
4. When done, ask for toolchange to tool in gcode if loaded.
5. Mesure the tool length with the tool-probe/plate.
6. Continue program.

To get this to work one could combine the Gmoccapy tool Measurement with this macros for probing?

Hallo Swapper,

sorry for the late answer, I have been on holiday.

Thanks for your compliments, and suggestions.

What you want to do is possible, but at the moment I will not integrate it as standard to gmoccapy, because IMHO not many users have a touch probe for spindle mount, but many do have a caliper

But this is gmoccapy, so it is quiet easy to solve that for you.

First read the WIKI Section about macros, you can add the touch off routines as macros, so that your touch off behavior can be done with one click.
And second step would be modify the tool_change_remap pocedure. You only have to change the change.ngc file to your needs and you are done. You may not need the block height entry for your configuration, because you may use your probe as reference tool and just compensate the others.

Hi
No problem at all!

i understand that you can´t incorporate all features that everyone uses
i will probably use the caliper method since its so simple to use and when i get more used to linuxcnc test some with the suggestions you made on where to make the changes.

i will keep you posted if i make anything usefull.
