Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Ok see what these are like. Again rename the .txt to .svg on all files.

I can only add eight so see the next post for the rest

And the rest

Would you please send me the code of your touch off macro page? I thing that would be a good beginning to introduce some stuff to standard. Or better, just write a WIKI page about how you did it.

More рay attention to this

I tried to download your work but the file is of unknown type and it cannot be opened.

Replace txt on rar .

Thanks that worked. I wonder if I tried rar?

This application can be easily connected to Gmoccapy

Hi Verser,

I see you have been using LinuxCNC-Features for some time with an old release by Nick. I am about to release a new update with a virtual keypad, better grouping and more.

About the last issue I have is with reloading the file in gmoccapy after some changes. It will reload automatically some times but not always and I have to press the Refresh button many times and sometimes I can only reload with the File button in gmoccapy.

How is your experience with it ? Could something not be configured right on my computer or do you experience the same as I ?

Regards
Fern

@Norbert

recently I bought a second hand touch screen for piece of money :laugh: and tried gmoccapy. Everything was brilliant. Touch here, touch there, perfect. However, I noticed one thing that could be improved.

I am cutting MDF very offten, though I get very good dedusting system, small particles still flies in the room. Sometimes, my fingers are coated with fine duct as well. This does not allow me to slide feedrate, jog and spindle speed slide bars. Is it possible, instead of having slidebars, to have "-" & "+" buttons, to decrease/increase parameters, but 100% to remain as such.

Thank you!

In that case I would seriously consider using external controls for that. Up/down buttons are slow, rotary encoders (the 'volume up/down' variant and not the '2500 line servo type') are cheap, and so is an extra parallel port card if you do not use Mesa hardware. A single LPT-card can interface 5 encoders or so.

Adding a small box with rapid/feed/spindle override potmeters at a handy spot on the machine is still on my todo-list.. It is a highly endmill-and-stock saving practice to start a program with rapid speeds reduced.
