Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Hallo Rick,

I tried with an own program and could not reproduce that behavior. I do quiet often pause a program, measure an diameter, stop the program, make a new touch off or change tool offsets and then start a new run of the program. I never had any behavior as you mentioned.

I will need a program of yours to reproduce the behavior. Otherwise I will not be able to check where it comes from and will not be able to fix it.

IMHO it should not be a gmoccapy issue, as I am using only linuxcnc commands to run a program, but I will check that as soon as I got the sample program.

hello I just installed debian and uses gmoccapy, thank you for the good work. I have a problem on the virtual keyboard (onboard) which is not available in debian there he has a way to use other software like matchbox-keyboard?

thank you
jean-manuel gagnon

install Matchbox-keyboard from a command prompt
and make sure your up to date with linuxcnc

sudo apt-get install matchbox-keyboard

Yesterday I had the following problem:

Gmoccapy stopped completely responding several times and for several minutes and then reacted only very slowly. Then I noticed that the Python process claimed nearly 100% of the CPU.

What is the reason for this?

At the moment I still use stable version 2.6.2

Thanks
Andreas

update to 2.6.3
there has been linux updates this may account for your problems , it will not be linuxcnc per se
or your particular installation .

Good evening,

Testerday i had my first crash with Linux 2.6.3 and Gmoccapy. Hopfully nothing bad, nothing break.

In the middle of a normal Gcod as i run everyday the G54 X and Y went back to 0
So after a bizzar strait moove the Y axis get errored of 350mm in the middle of a cut (13m/minutes)
The 350mm is my G54 Y0

This was the first job of the day and before it the G54 Z0 was lost but in this case Linux wont start because of axis limit.

So i have try to run a macro ( 1 of the 6 ) wich one do a z-0.500mm spoil board milling and finish with G10 L2 P0.000

But i dont know why, many time after a click to MDI mode i must wait more than 30sec or stop and restart the machine.

After getting the mdi mode ready i have run the macro and stop it directly to re-offset my Z axis manually.
I tought i had lost enought of time.

Finally good with my Z axis, i have run the Gcode when after 10 minutes, X Y axis went out.
So i have closed Linux, restart the computer, unplug the Rj45 network connection reset G54 XYZ and run all my Gcode without any trouble for more en 10 houres.
but i stil have have a problem wiht MDI mode sometime.


I would like to know, how do you acces from Gmoccapy to a folder on the network ( windows => Debian )
How do you display the Gcode file buy list with detail instead of icon.

Thank you very much.

Mael.
