Axis Modifications

A small improvement to my mod: icons have been added to show the enabling of the adaptive feed and the spindle-at-speed signal.

 

The spindle-at-speed signal is connected only in the custom_postgui.hal file, for example:

Sorry to circle the discussion back to a very old question in this thread...

But I can't find the axis.py file.

I'm on LinuxCNC 2.9.0-pre1-1066-g8fd469d67 on Bookworm, using the update repository.

I found the source on github, at =11.0ptlinuxcnc/src/emc/usr_intf/axis/scripts,  so that's helpful

I found axis.tcl at /usr/share/axis/tcl/

Where does one go to figure out how to write/modify a custom layout python script? I thought those were the two pieces (axis.py and axis.tcl). I mainly want to make items bigger for ease on aging eyes and for clicking the right buttons. I'm having some success working from other axis examples, but they don't all hit the panel items I want to hit, so I need to know their names and properties.

That stuff is probably all in axis.tcl, but I feel somehow incomplete. :-/

its mixed into both. the best, most mobile way to do it is with axisrc, or usercommand.py file
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/gui/axis.html#_user_command_file

(shameless self plug) check out this axis mod, i have a thing in there for text size. you can use it as reference

OMG, this is awesome! I was specifically working on making those darn buttons bigger, and you've already gone and solved that.

Thank you thank you.

I might tweak it ever-so-slightly, but you've saved me a boatload of squinting and suffering! Thank you.

if you do something cool, post it up, or if you have any issues or questions about it feel free to ask in the other thread and we can take care of it probably
