OK, so here is another way to do it.
The G-code
Code:
M12
M10 (Radius)
M10 (Length)
M10 (Mass/kg;mass);
M11 (Enter Parameters)
(DEBUG, _radius = #<_radius>)
(DEBUG, _length = #<_length>)
(DEBUG, _mass= #<_mass>)
M2
Will pop up this dialog box:
Attachment not found
And then after pressing the button, #<_radius> will hold the value of the first box, #<_length>the second and #<_mass> the value in the third box.
The params are created as global (_name) and have all spaces stripped. The param name is the prompt unless a param name is given after a ; in the comment.
M12 clears the dialog box to start again, or M11 will show the same one again.
M11 (with a comment) will change the dialog title.
[strike]Big problem: I can't get the button to close the dialog automatically, G-code execution continues when the X is clicked.[/strike]
It does now close the dialog box.
Setup:
In the INI
Code:
[RS274_NGC]
...
REMAP = M10 modalgroup=4 python=m10
REMAP = M11 modalgroup=4 python=m11
REMAP = M12 modalgroup=4 python=m12
...
[PYTHON]
PATH_PREPEND= python
# import the following Python module
TOPLEVEL= python/toplevel.py
# the higher the more verbose tracing of the Python plugin
LOG_LEVEL = 8
Create a new folder called "python" in the same directory as the INI
in that folder put a file called "toplevel.py" that has this content
Then in another file, called "remap.py" put this code
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
from interpreter import *
from Tkinter import *
list = []
# Add an entry
def m10(self, **words):
global list
if not self.task: return INTERP_OK
list.append(self.blocks[self.remap_level].comment)
return INTERP_OK
def done(self, dialog, entries):
for entry in entries:
val = entry[1].get()
if val.isdigit:
self.params[entry[0]] = float(val)
dialog.update()
dialog.destroy()
# Show the entries
def m11(self, **words):
if not self.task: return INTERP_OK
dir(self)
global list
entries = []
row = 1
if not hasattr(sys, 'argv'):
sys.argv = ['']
dialog = Tk()
dialog.title(self.blocks[self.remap_level].comment)
for item in list:
ret = item.split(";")
prompt = ret[0]
if len(ret) == 1:
param = "_" + prompt.replace(" ", "")
else:
param = "_" + ret[1].replace(" ", "")
Label(dialog, text=prompt).grid(row=row)
entry = Entry(dialog)
entry.grid(column=1, row=row)
try:
entry.insert(0, self.params[param])
except:
pass
entries.append((param, entry))
row += 1
Button(dialog, text='OK', command=lambda: done(self, dialog, entries)).grid(row=row, column=0, sticky=W, pady=4)
mainloop()
return INTERP_OK
def m12(self, **words):
global list
list = []
return INTERP_OK
