PathPilot when gui is running how to get back to desktop was created by Clive S
As the tittle: PathPilot when gui is running how to get back to desktop.
Using ADMIN HALSHOW which shows on the PP gui
Then accidently clicking on the gui the HALSHOW window disappears behind.
How to get back to it ?? or is it not possible?

Ctrl + Alt + X will get you a terminal prompt. Then type "mate-panel".
Though, any time you click on the GUI, it's going to take you back to full screen.

Thanks Greg I can live with that as I can click on the halshow tab and that brings it back to the front.

HALMETER works as does HALSCOPE, but not HALSHOW

Hey Clive, just was curious how you got HALSHOW to work on PathPilot. When I try here I get an error that the file isn't found. Was hoping you had an easy solution before I spent time going down a rabbit holeUsing ADMIN HALSHOW which shows on the PP gui

Greg. is this what you a looking for:-
To add HALSHOW it requires you to place halshow.tcl in ~/tmc/tcl/bin and edit ~/tmc/bin/halshow change:-
#!/usr/bin/tclsh8.6 and source ~/home/operator/repos/pathpilot3/linuxcnc/tcl/bin/halshow.tcl
to #!/usr/bin/tclsh8.6 and source ~/tmc/tcl/bin/halshow.tcl
Then ADMIN HALSHOW in the MDI should work.
If I remember I think you can get halshow.tcl from any standard linuxcnc version

Yessir it sure is; thank you very much!
I missed that a "bin" directory needed to be created to place it in... I had placed halshow.tcl in ~tmc/tcl. I see now it needs to be inside "bin" to work.
Works great. Thanks again.
I have been sitting on a clearpath servo kit with a v1.5 board for over a year that I got for a great price. I finally retrofitted my Series 3 machine, using the 7i85s that was already on it from the spindle encoder (and a little help from Peter with using the encoders as inputs). I have some other tinkering I want to do and HALSHOW will make it a lot easier.

Just a note for anyone who stumbles onto this, if you use the latest halshow.tcl located here:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/master/tcl/bin
Then you also need to place cbutton.tcl into the ~/tmc/tcl/bin folder as well for halshow to work.
