Time and date on Gmoccapy

Hello Guys,

How do you change the time to a 12hr format, and change the date to MM/DD/YYYY?

I looked at it thru the GLADE editor, but it just say's Time and Date for that section.

Rick

you would have to change gmoccapy's core code by the look of it...

if using a RIP linuxcnc:
in src/emc/usr_intf/gmoccapy/gmoccapy.py

look for a line like this somewhere around line 1371:
self.widgets.lbl_time.set_label( strftime( "%H:%M:%S" ) + "\n" + strftime( "%d.%m.%Y" ) )

change the big H to a big I and then change the order of "%d.%m.%Y"

then remake linuxcnc

Or you do the changes directly on the file

do not change owner or mode. That is the way you will not need the source or to remake linuxcnc.

For gmoccapy 1.5.3.1 the corresponding line to make the changes is 1364

Norbert

Thanks Guys,

That looks better now, that I got it changed.

Hey guys,

I take it that these lines and data no longer apply to change this?

I just tried to do this on a current build, and cannot find anything relating to "self.widgets.lbl_time.set_label( strftime( "%H:%M:%S" ) + "\n" + strftime( "%d.%m.%Y" ) )" in the file.

What gmoccapy version?

It looks like 1.5.5, I can't open my config, but a current ( as of last friday ) sim config shows 1.5.5, I looked at ,

And didn't find the " self.widgets.lbl_time.set_label( strftime( "%H:%M:%S" ) + "\n" + strftime( "%d.%m.%Y" ) )" line any where, I searched the whole file, and couldn't find it all.

Thanks

Rick

Hallo Rick, sorry for the late answer.

It must be there

in gmoccapy 1.5.5.2 it is in line 1370,

just searche for

def _periodic

and some lines down you will find the line

Norbert

Yeah, I'm not sure what I had going on, but after I did a fresh pull, and re-compiled, it was there and I changed it.

I had a few things fouled up on the machine, but we're back to making chips now

Thanks

Rick
