Need testers for gmoccapy_5_axis

Hallo everybody out there

I have been forced by different users to make a gmoccapy 5 axis version.
Here it is. I made this in a way, so it can be used as lathe, as 3 axis as 4 axis and 5 axis version, It will recognize from INI file what widgets to be shown or hidden.

So it should work on every existing gmoccapa config. Who is willing to test?
Just get the branch gmoccapy_5_axis from git server.







Do we need the touch off button to set zero directly, as I throwed them out, because of space reasons.

Is someone using the DRO button? If not, I would like to get rid of them.

What do you thinl about the new location of the "file loaded" information?

Waiting for feedback!!!

Norbert

i'll test it Norbert,
hopefully tomorrow as it's becoming late here ,
looks excellent as always ! ,

Hi Norbert
I am trying to get a copy of your branch but there are changes to a python library that will not allow me to get the branch. I think it is the linuxcnc-features stuff. Must I do a complete new pull of the linuxcnc-dev to get around this?

Marius,

Do not merge the branch, just pull it, there should not be any problem.
For sure you will need to change to the new branch and compile it.

What python lib, and what have you done?

I had installed gmoccapy_5 axis and my biggest problem right now is with the dro's not changing from mm to inch on the four original axis that were set up in mm before installing gmoccapy_5 during the initial linuxcnc install. When I enabled the 5th axis Its dro displayed in inch mode as my ini file directed. I have tried everything to change axis X, Y, Z, A to display the dro angles in inch mode and not in mm with no luck.. They just continue to display 2.5400 for every inch of movement.

So your machine config is in inch, right?
axis A is angular, so it should display angle units.
What is the 5-th axis?

What code is active? G20 or G21?

Norbert (checking on your problem)
