Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Hallo Straga,

found and corrected the error, it was in the iconview.py file. Your file did contain 2 dots, so it has been splited in an inconvenient way.
Just pull and run gmoccapy again, you should see the file in fiie open dialog.

The attached file does need a little time to load, because it has about 188200 lines, but it is shown well in the preview and does work fine on my machine.

Thanks
1. Yes it work, now i see all files.

2. Yes, may pc it too slow for that file.

gmoccapy_1_1_5 - allow hide axis 4 ; set DRO size

ver. 1.1.5
- added a option to hide the 4'th axis, this is useful if that axis is used
to control a tool changer, as than the axis DRO and jog button are not needed.
This has to be activated on the settings page, axis 4 is shown by default.
This needed some code rework (moving code around)
- solved the problem of pin_value changes on start up / initializing, because I
introduced a new intern variable self.initialized, leaving defs if not True
- introduced a adjustment widget on the settings page to allow the user to set
the font size of the DRO, it will be reduced by 3/4 if 4 axis are used


gmoccapy_1_1_5_1 - solved bug not resetting the gmoccapy error pin

ver 1.1.5.1
- solved a bug related to the gmoccapy error pin. This pin has not been reseted
if the user used the mouse or touch screen and errased the message by clicking
the message button. It was only done right if the delete-message pin was used.
I modified notification.py to emit a signal if a message has been deleted and
conected this signal to gmoccapy.
- corrected also a small mistake in _show_errors, it was posible to get messages
without text, added a default text.

It is all on 2.6 and on master!

Repository for ubuntu not update from 9may.

I have questions. How make every time message for tool change.

I wont when start g-code M6 go to measuring tool, Tool measuring position, every time show me message after i am push OK. And after start measuring?

Hallo straga,

I am not able to see what you are trying to do.

The ubuntu pepository is not handled by me, i do not know the update cycle.

Do you want more or less messages for tool change? If you want a manual tool change with tool measurement, see the corresponding exampel in the sim/gmoccapy dir. And read the wiki fof details.

You may need to adapt the change.ngc to your needs.

I did my first test with Gmoccapy yesterday. I'm no programmer so downloading and installing these developer versions I'm on thin ice. But I was able to make it work. Including getting my Acer touch screen! That is a cheap two point touch only IR thing. Possibly the best way for this use anyway. And cheap, so I can replace it if it breaks without going bankrupt.

So far I have discovered 2 bugs:

1. The size of the work envelope in the simulated machine is changed so none of the included ngc files works. I fixed this by changing the ini file to have z-min to -400 instead of -.01 I think it was, something like that.

2. With touch screen moving around on the preview screen isn't working as expected. It works somewhat when I move, (but zooming isn't behaving as expected (and as it does in Gscreen) but that's not the problem). As soon as I press any button (like for instance MDI or auto mode) the view changes to a useless side view. And the only way to have perspective view back is to first press on one of the other views, then perspective. Only pressing on the perspective view doesn't work. I have to go through a different view first, then back to perspective view.

I also had problems running the spiral test used to verify the new trajectory planner. I don't remember the error message, but I hope others are able to reproduce this. The error was that it wasn't able to understand the programming (I think it was an o-word thing). I also think the test program you have made for Gmoccapy (the one you use on your videos) is failing in the same way.

I have to say this GUI is absolutely fantastic! I look forward to use it! Great work Norbert!

What do I need to do to make this GUI available to run my Mesa 5i25/7i77 config? Simulation isn’t quite much point for me, but I'm too newbie in this still to know how to implement it. Maybe I have to wait until 2.6 is released? The question is when that will be.....

I hope it will be one of the standard available GUI's for 2.6? So many nice new features that are coming out with that release I look forward to it! This GUI is one of the great things in it I hope.
