Total Newbie Question Here but I need help.

OK here is kind of where I am currently at. I have Linuxcnc 2.8 installed. Using a parallel port out to a Gecko540 to a Grizzly mill. I am as new to this as you can get so be gentle . Anyway I have the gmoccapy interface up and kind of going. I can jog machine around and I have been able to manually edit my.ini file to calibrate machine and compensate for backlash on all three axis. So I feel like I have made leaps and bounds in a few days.

Anyway here is the dumb question I do not see anywhere on the interface a place to click and load a file ?? I know I am missing something here. point me in the right direction.

Thanks !!

I guess what I am asking how do I get this button here to appear on my interface. See below.

E-stop, enable the machine, home all, set it to "Auto" mode and the "open file" button appears at the bottom.

Thank you sir sometimes the simplest things are the hardest

Nrobert did a good job of hiding stuff and showing them only when needed, makes for a cleaner and more elegant look.

Yes I love the look !! I don't have a touch screen but still chose it over axis just because of the aesthetics. Very nice !!

For the basic usage I made some youtube videos, just search for gmoccapoy in you tube.

And if you already like that screen, just wait for the next one I am making
But the next one will be based on GTK3 and python3 so there will be the need for a modern OS.
