To use it stand alone, you can open a terminal in features directory and type : ./features.py --catalog=catalogs/lathe.xml
You must first make sure that linuxCNC is configured OK for "PROGRAM_PREFIX" and "SUBROUTINE_PATH"
If you plan to always use lathe.xml you can make it the default catalog by changing features.py at line 359
Change
self.catalog_src = "catalogs/mill.xml"
for
self.catalog_src = "catalogs/lathe.xml"
This version does not use a menu and most features in lathe option use milldraw.py. I was never able to make it run neither in my home or work computers. Also there is not much error message, so you do not know much why it is not working. Watch carefully what prints in the terminal window. My lathe is not converted to CNC but I may try to make good ini and ngc files after I release my update for linuncnc-features which is almost a complete rewrite.
Also make sure your mouse double click is set at about 600ms
Good luck
Fern
Thanks Fern (and Nick)! What should "PROGRAM_PREFIX" and "SUBROUTINE_PATH" be set to? Also I noticed that ../catalogs/lathe.xml is empty (just has a single line in it). Is that normal? I don't know why, I just git cloned the branch but it doesn't look anything like the mill.xml file.... Oh, and how do I set my mouse click speed?
Is your rewrite going to do lathe and mill? Or are you just rewriting the lathe portion?
ps: These are the errors I get when I start features.py I set line 359 to point to lathe.xml and I now see the lathe features. The last set of lines was generated when I clicked the refresh button...
