Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

It seems I missed the fact that linuxcnc has compiled the gtk2 glade editor and added it to linuxcnc debian.
so gladevcp and the new screens are safe for a while longer !

Is there any way to remove the icons on the bottom/vertical row of buttons and just have text instead? My brain has never fully recognized icons very easily and text works much better for me.

Yes, you can do that.

Open a terminal and enter the following commands:

[code]
cd linuxcnc-dev
. ./scripts/rip-environment
glade
[/code

Than open the file:
~/linuxcnc-dev/src/emc/usr_intf/gmoccapy/gmoccapy.glade

Remove the images and edit the button label.

All this will only work if you have the linuxcnc sources installed.

After that you need to recompile all the system.

I don't think that a change to the glade file should require any recompilation at all?

@Andi,

I just tested that, you are right, no compiling or source code is needed if you use linuxcnc 2.6.2 hybrid.iso.

Just open the file:

/usr/share/gmoccapy/gmoccapy.glade

with the glade editor.

Change what ever you like and save the file.
(You need to be root to save on that location.)

Please take care, if you delete widgets, and I do use tthat widget in the python code, gmoccapy will not start any more, so I recommend no to delete, but to hide the widgets you do not like.

Wow! 85 pages in this topic and counting. I hope I'm posting in the right place.


I'm having some issues with how gmoccapy is displaying on my 15" touchscreen.

If multiple pop-up alerts occur at the same time, the newer ones are reduced in height until it's impossible to click the button to clear them.

I'm also seeing an exceptionally long number string for the max velocity and I haven't figured out how to fix it.

The pane showing the enabled gcodes is clipping. It's

minor but annoying.

Hi
Look in the INI file under the [TRAJ] section you will find and entry MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY = xxx. Change that entry to MAX_VELOCITY = xxx

As for the messages, what config are you running?

norbert,

is it possible perhaps to seperate error messages to it's own frame or window , so closing the window would close all errors

just a thought

CRTL + SPACE closes all messages.

P.S.
There are also some error handling hal pins in gmoccapy now. Not sure how it works but check the wiki for some info. Also some posts earlier on

Awesome. I'd commented out MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY but not replaced it. I thought I'd recalled something about that error but couldn't find it in the thread. Maybe we need a troubleshooting or FAQ section on the wiki.

My config is based on the default sim config but modified quite a bit for my mill. I've been running it for 6 months and just upgraded linuxcnc and the machine it runs on. Now running debian so also affected by the lack of onboard.

The Ctrl+space trick is a good workaround but doesn't help running a touchscreen.
