LinuxCNC Features - a kind of NGCGUI

We've checked in 2.5
Numbered parameters work the same as named in 2.6.

So is it a typo in Docs? Should them be read as _x - current local coordinates? Or it will be fixed and redone later in linuxcnc?

A typo in the Docs in Master? I think so but need one of the developers to verify.

I assume your talking about the system parameters in the Master Docs?

The master docs were inaccurate to say "Return absolute machine coordinate" I have corrected them.

Thanks for reporting this.

JT

Can you correct the numbered parameters description as well?

www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gcode/o...umbered_parameters_a
5420-5428
Current Position including all offsets and in the current program units for X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V & W. In absolute machine coordinates, volatile.

Yes, I missed the absolute part on the numbered parameters.

Thanks
JT

Lathe is done.
We need more testers. And ofcause we need your comments:

• what do you like about Features
• and most important what do you do not like about Features
• and what do you think can be done in other way

Here's a video that shows some of the main features for lathe.
PS sorry my English leaves much to be desired, so the video is litle bit dull

I'll be very happy to test for you, but I'm trying to find the time to build my control cabinet and still have to acquire my servo motors. Everything else is here and just needing assembly now. Looking forward to actually using what you've done.

Hi Nick:

I'm very interested in three things:
- To test the controls (currently I'm trying to load it into CNC without success). I've been able to run the control alone, but not inside the rest of the environment.
- To add more controls. Just you have done what I was started to do. yesterday I connected a Tormach passive probe to my JC6090 router through a small miniArduino (altough tormach passive porobe is "passive", working with a resistor divisor it is possible to detect very small pressures on the tp).
- We are working adding a MACH 3 Pendant ( XHC4 Wirelles for Mach3) to Linuxcnc
Can we share our work?

We need a ".ini" example of how you are loading the control inside the GUI of linuxcnc. I've tried without been able to work with it.

Yep, probably we have to make better installation instructions.

Have you done everything that mentioned in readme github.com/cnc-club/linuxcnc-features/blob/master/README.md ?

If features component is successfully added to glave_vcp vidgets then to load Features all is needed is to add to ini

GLADEVCP = -U --catalog=catalogs/lathe.xml features.ui

and you'll gonna need features.ui file with following content:
Or you should be always able to run Features as a separate window with all functionality including preview, just start features after LinuxCNC and axis are already loaded, and provide Features with ini file location using --ini=[path to ini]
