Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

thanks guys I'll be around for a couple more days...

tjamscad you must download the 'master' version of linuxcnc. The easiest way is probably the buildbot see here: buildbot.linuxcnc.org/

then you can test Gscreen using the sample configurations they are under sim/gscreen or sim/gscreen_custom (you'll find the list when you start linuxcnc)

If you want to try the exact screen I have been showing pics of the you need download a couple files and add then to the config folder...
I will zip them up .....

here are the custom Gscreen files. unzip the folder and place the _individual_ files in the sim/gscreen_custom folder.

If you want to try the custom Onboard keyboard layout unzip this folder in your home file:

Then when you start onboard (you can do this by typing 'onboard' in a terminal screen) you will see an icon in the top panel
click it, click preferences, select layouts, and you should see cnc - pick it.
then this will be the layout that pops up each time.
