NGCGUI error with BackToolLathe

Dear All,

Friend of mine uses BackToolLathe .axisrc from from Wiki .
When he hits the Finalize button in NGCGUI, there is an error message as follows:


Do you have any suggestion how to fix it?

Best regards:
James

Hi

This error comes up when you start Axis, it is nothing to do with ngcgui.
Your friend probably does not start it from a terminal so never sees the error unless using ngcgui.

I can confirm the error warning in a sim, but so far as I can tell it does not affect the functionality, the back lathe plot works as it should
A lot of python errors seem to be like that.

I tried a few hacks but can't get rid of it, I'll leave it for JT to have a look at, I see it has his paw prints on it

regards

I know nothing about Tkinter so it can't have my paw prints on it.

Seems I ran into that with gremlin and if you try and set a view with nothing loaded you get an error.

I was going by the name against the edits on the wiki page :whistle:

Ah yes, I did the promotional part of it LOL.

Thanks ArcEye, BigJohnT for the information.

OK, it seem that the Tkinter related message can be ignored.

The strange thing is that the correct G code is sent from NGCGUI sub to Axis, just there is an error message window saying that no error :blink:



The question is if this error message is caused by NGCGUI subroutine or NGCGUI itself?

The error message seems related to Gremlin, which is the openGL plot rendering widget present both in Axis and the new ngcgui by the looks of it.

It occurs when Axis opens and tries to implement the backtool revision code from ~/.axisrc and it appears it also occurs when the embedded Gremlin
widget tries to render the completed code from ngcgui.

Dewey might be able to isolate what is causing it, I will draw his attention to the thread in case he has an input.

In the meanwhile it does not seem to affect anything so just carry on

regards

Does the SendFileToAxis failed message mean anything?

I assume not

I am still using the original ngcgui so i am not even familiar with this version.

I sent Dewey an email, he's the man to answer this

regards

I got a reply back from Dewey.

I am out of town so can't do much ---the red text says the send to axis failed so he could ctrl-a to toggle autosend and save the NgC file to try running in axis and/or to post so others can look at the file
