Promecor Lathe retrofit with TKXHMI

Hi Andy,
My first shot was using tooldb but then I realized that it was not what I really wanted, it is more a patch than a solution. I integrated zeromq with protobuf for messaging so I don’t only send tool information but also work offsets , variables and even settings stored on the db, no need to use file for saving stuff. The advance of this is that it is saved as soon as data changed and not only at powering off.

Sure, I can pull request line showing

About homing, I added a “drive based homing” setting on the ini to let the system it should just use the drive homing and wait for completeness. No need to use the new homing thing

Does this also apply to subroutines in different files?

Yes my friend, just gcode subroutines and remaps , Python remaps shows line that called them

Would be really nice if you could PR that. It seems that involves changes all over the board to add the filename wherever line_number is changed.

You are absolutely right but I have done it better as you would have to hold the file name on real-time and it’s a no no . What I have done is creating a list where every time a file is loaded just append it to a list and get the index into real-time so now you have file number and line number

Hey, lookin good. your cnc controller panel, is that a retrofit or did you buy one of those fany panel mount keyboards? was it expensive? I want one but they are so damn expensive......

Also, when you say HMI, you mean in the literal sense? is your screen just a normal HDMI/DVI/VGA monitor? not an industrial PLC HMI?
