Another GUI project underway

Nice work, please keep it going..

This looks SO GOOD and I would love to use it on my new retrofit (18 pocket ATC)

just an update sorry for the delays, alot going on in the backscenes with the GUI, but not all of it is showable, alot is some pretty cool QML code Turboss is working on to make some motion with the ATC carousel. but still in its early development.

anyways, here is the ATC page, obviously this is pretty much the same as the PP atc so if you guys see anything besides the tool count in the carousel please let us know! we have made graphics for 8, 10, 12, 16 and I suppose we can do an 18 as well

thoughts?

updated to new button colors, these seem to read easier!

Very exciting stuff!
Ultimately what do you think the final scope of the tool table will be?
For example, I have a retrofitted mill with a 21 tool carousel.
Do you envisage the number of tools in the table/carousel being user definable or being
limited to a finite set?
Thanks and again, very interesting cannot wait to see it rolled out!

Graphically it depends on adding the graphics and tool# boxes and code additions, but the remap coding for the ATC can be done without the GUI, which I'm assuming you already have setup. The tool table will have a set number just because it needs a set number to define the table..ie, can't leave that blank..lol. Need to see what the Max number of tools lcnc can accept, but I would imagine 250 or 500 or 1000 depending on any limits set by the software.

been a few days, had a weekend vacation and am now back on the project with my fellow code-fu partners in crime! small update for viewing but took a while to hash out how to do the customer sliders being so new to the coding world.. and now we have the sliders linked to the input/output boxes and override buttons whoo hoo! slowly but surely making progress! any update is a good update in my opinion so here you go until the next one!

Good to see progress.

I'm digging this one.

and a few fun pictures because i couldn't resist the urge to see what it would look like on the machine controller..lol
