My custom designed GUI

Hi

This was done with a lot of help from John's python tutorial. Thanks John

A lot of thanks to Andy as well for help with HAL issues I had.

The machines I build are all going out with LinuxCNC and my custom GUI unless the customer demands WinXP with Mach3.

Regards

Piet

This is very nice.
Can you share the files to produce this? I am interested in creating a screen for lathes.

Very nice and I'm glad my tutorials could help.

Mind posting a link to this tutorial?

Is this the one?

Halo Piet,

I like your design, did you make all the widgets yourself, or is that just a custom theme?
Where can I see the machines you make?

Norbert

@ DaOne - Yes that is the tutorial

@ Norbet, Craftsman CNC The screens were done on PagePlus, desktop publishing software, which was then imported into Glade and the widgets laid out on top of the imported images

@emcPT it is a whole project, not only a few files of code

How did you force the glade widgets to be the correct shape and size?

JT

Halo Piet,

where can I find the source code?

Norbert

@ JT - I wrote a scale function so the widgets scales to any screen size. I used transparent event boxes instead of buttons. I had to tweak some of the GladeVCP code so the widgets such as the LED's will have scaled sizes.

@ Norbert and emcPT - I will tweak and clean up my code a bit, as it was done specifically for my machines. I also had to change some of the GladeVCP objects to suite my needs and they no longer work correctly in Axis, such as gremlin. Once done I will post the project.

Is the scale function part of the python file? I'd love to see it...
