Hi Scuba,
Haha, No module named xlsxwriter
In the github readme it say's to install this via synaptic package manager.
But faster is like this :
Open terminal :
sudo apt-get install xlsxwriter
This is for writing and reading tool data to excel files. This we need later on to import tool list's, like Hypertherm or Thermal Dynamic's libraries. At this moment it can write your tool data to excel file. Loading the tool data from excel i have to do.
It is working with text files, but Rodw and me have choosed for excel files. Rodw likes sql more. But for me too difficult at this
moment to invest time in.
You only have to edit the postgui.hal file and replace the parport section's, about 5 lines. This file has a very easy setup.
For Mesa ad card, Voltage in is present and working.
Current use is a sample raw voltage input value, taken from the grotius screen. You see this in postgui.hal.
If your Mesa ad input value is working, replace the sample grotius gui input to your real input value. If you don't know how to,
i can help you with this.
Your core hal file's you can use and replace with grotius.hal in your grotius.ini file.
So it is not very difficult to do. I tested it on a old laptop this week. Loaded the axis simulation hal files. This also worked.
So i will also provide a simulation version soon. 800x600 screen resolution's are really a problem. So i must make a choice soon
for the minimal screen resolution or provide a second screen for very low resolution's. Scaling screen's 0.9 or 0.8 is not possible in Glade.
But first i must test the auto restart function at the machine. I solved 2 item's last week. The keyboard buttons to move axis.
And the restart at certain line (tested with line 25500)function. So now we are really far in the process. Everything become's more easye'r to program for me now
through experience. I cutted several hours with this config, and i am really impressed so far. It beat's mach3 in every way
when i am finisched with this gui.
