Gscreen - a GTK / Glade / Python based screen

@Chris,

a bug or a feature?

Please push the INDEX TOOL Button and enter "(8x", not a value! and then OK from the manual tool index entry.

No error is lauched, but you should mount tool 0
I Think this should not hapen!

This may be a solution:

Hello Chris,

We have been following this thread from inception and are very anxious to get our machine finished to get the gscreen interface operational. I probably have another week or two and we will be applying power to this one so I can start test and tune. Couple of questions for you,

1. We have applied the fanuc style tool patch on the machine we just finished, and now that we have some hours put on the new control, realized it is almost identical to the Fagor and Cincinnati controls in regards to the wear offset option that it incorporates. Does this have this available yet or do I still need to apply that patch while compiling?

2. For the hal file what is the best to find out the I/O pins related to gscreen so I can start writing my hal file?

then you will start the machine.
Now you have to reference all axis.
Now you will fix the workpiece and now you need to touch the workpiece to set the origin of the part, therefor you will have to jog around, mostly with all 3 axis. Let us say you are doing the touch off with an edge finder with 10 mm diameter, so if you toch off X you will have to enter -5 mm then you touch off the Y axis and you enter again -5 mm, ok now you put your Z-heigh mesuring block on the surface and touch on this, with normaly have a height of 50 mm if the indicator shows cero, meening you have to give an offset off 50 mm.

Now everything is done to load a program, so you switch to auto page, load the program and press start.

Norbert,
I am just running through this with simulator and gscreen-indrustral. I am not getting 21 clicks. What am I missing?

1. clear estop
2. machine on
3. home all
4. set x
5. set y
6. set z
7. program
8.load program
9. cycle start

you have not count the clicks to set the values:

X = - 5
Y = -5
Z = 50

gives you a lot more clicks

and didn't you count the clicks to change the modes?
At the beginning you are in manual mode, where are the clicks to get to the auto mode?
You have to count also the axis selection, getting in jogging mode, just dont count any click of jogging, but one click for each move of the machine.

I am getting more than 27 clicks.

Which gscreen are you using?

There is a problem with the forum - many (all ?) of us can't attach files...
Hopefully it will be figured out soon.
