Flex GUI 1.2.1 Released

I just released version 1.2.1 of Flex GUI which includes Axis style controls and an example of Axis style GUI using Flex GUI.

Because you can edit a nc code file directly in Flex I'm working on a search function so you can search the nc code and change things without loading an external editor.

Excellent! I just got my new mill converted to LinuxCNC, and was thinking that maybe I should tackle the gui before going too much further. Did a search to see how you were doing, and look! A new release. I like the idea of starting with an axis-style gui -- after all, it's what I'm used to.

Looking forward to giving it a try!

Gave the new axis-like UI a spin this morning. Looks and feels good. I noticed the buttons (e-stop and machine-on, in particular) don't have the 3D "I'm pushed" look when they're pushed released. A small thing, but there's no other visual way to tell the state.

I need to come up to speed on modifying these UIs, so I can make changes and flesh it out. (I know, I know... watch the videos. ) The big missing piece for me right now is a probing/touch-off screen. My current probing setup is pyvcp, so clearly it will need to be redone. But I'll bet you already have fully functional probe screens just waiting to be dropped in.

Did some work on the toolbar toolbuttons...

The Touch Probe 3 example has full working probe routines that you can drag and drop onto your gui.

Hi,

Has anyone done a plasma interface with Flex GUI?

I just added file load buttons for frequently used files like probe routines so the path shows up in the plotter before you run the routine.

Also don't forget we have a IRC channel #flex_dev on Libera.Chat.

Flex GUI just keeps getting better and better and more flexible.

I tested this feature, and its working perfect, as desired. For further testing i like to insert icons near a spinbox, as i did in my glade panel, but dont know how to do.

 

I have some ideas about the appearance, but first i need more testing, how i integrate all my machining and probing routines.

 

Here's a video of adding images to pushbuttons should be similar for labels.
