Another GUI project underway

Yeah I'm seriously loving Probe Basic and looking forward to really learning how to interact with it. Next on the list is to get comfortable with the tool table.

From the factory the machine came with a button to rotate the carousel, but not a drawbar button. I can tell their intention was to load tools from the side of the system directly into the carousel itself.

The original spindle drive did handle the orient, but I had to replace it with a modern Teco VFD. So i've been trying to handle the orient in the HAL file alone and it has been difficult (for me, anyway...). My thread is here: forum.linuxcnc.org/30-cnc-machines/31621...x-retrofit?start=140

hi guys. just thinking I might be able to help someone out here. got some free stuff to give away;)

I bought two planar big touch screens from ebay a couple months ago this model is supposed to be pretty much plug and play with linuxcnc. the toucscreen drivers etc just work out of the box. since then they have cost way too much to ship to new zealand my initial estimate I got was not very accurate. anyway they are sitting in oregon at the new zealand post (youshop) warehouse. I don't want anything for them, If now one wants them I will dump them which will be a pity.

I am pretty sure the only cost you would have to pay is just the shipping to your address. but will have to confirm that.

if anyone wants them sing out.

regards

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

What is the shipping cost? I'm in Christchurch.
Oh, and what model is it?

Cheers,
Jon

I'm really interested and I'd throw some $ your way!

HueyHQ the screens are in america that is the whole problem..

But besides that since you are in CHCH I would love to compare notes if possible we may be able to help each other. and the fact that your user name is HueyHQ makes me think we will know lots of the same people lol. are you into helicopters?

if you go to my websight carbidecutters.co.nz and look me up you will see a email address if you want to get in contact.

Giz are you in america?

you are welcome to them for free if you can use them. I don't need to charge the linuxcnc world. we all help each other so much. just pay the shipping. Though I still need to email them and check they don't require some silly release bond or something.

regards

Andrew
