I have to agree with Jim. I always build my machines with a start, stop and pause button external. I think it is needed as a feature.

Halo Jim and Marius,

with the last push, all your wishes should work, using the known halui pin.
Please test and let me know. If this does not work as expected, I will introduce my own pin, but I try to avoid to code something otheres have done allready, unless I need to.

Jim,

The Exit Button behavior is still the old one, as I will make that feature selectable on the settings page, but first I wnat to finsh tool measurement.

gmoccapy 0.9.9.7.2

New gcode.lang file,

resulting in better gcode highlighting.

gmoccapy 0.9.9.7.3

- modified a little bit the gmoccapy_plasma screen, now also the speed info tab is hidden to make the rest fit better
- plasma.py now supports persistence variables, meaning the values are saved on closing the GUI and restored on restart of the GUI The values are stored in a file called plasma.var in the config dir.

Marius has began to make a very informative gmoccapy_plasma WIKI

Hi Norbert
Thanks a lot for the persistent variable they work just great. I will fix the wiki to suit the new var file soon.

Hey Norbert,

The change in the external run program works except for a couple of tnisey little problems.

The first time I tried to execute from manual mode I received an error " not in auto mode". (realy not what I was looking for)

The second time I tried to execute the same program from manual mode it went to the auto screen and started execution of the program. This this where most people put a smiley face... Im Happy. (just what I was looking for)

The only problem is it would run the program over and over and over until I hit the stop program .

Thanks for working on the changes for me.

Jim

Halo Marius,

the button to activate halui.program.run must be a momentary switch! Please watch the corresponding pin with halshow and inform.

While testing I never had continious running.

Jim, could you dobblecheck please.

Norbert

Hi Norbert
I am not testing the external buttons just yet. Jim is onto that. I am sure he will let you know.

Sorry my mistake!

Norbert

gmoccapy 0.9.9.7.4

the tool number and the tool description
