My custom designed GUI

I got this to run some time ago. I am pretty sure it was on a plain vanilla Debian LCNC ISO install, so I think it would have been Py 2.6 but it could have been 2.7. Either way I don't think the problem is with the python version, I think it was just a matter of getting all the files in the right places. The file paths are hard coded so I remember having to changes some of the paths in craftsman.py, and maybe elsewhere. I still have that HDD laying around, I could dig it out and see what I did to get it running if you would like.

The guy who created this GUI said there were problems running it with Python 2.7, and that's exactly what I and several others here have experienced. If it's not too much trouble, please check what version of Python you were running on that installation.

Thank you!

I just checked my python version using $ python -V and it says I'm running 2.7.3. CraftsmanCNC seems to start and run fine, see the attached screen shot. I can upload the directory in which I have CraftsmanCNC installed if that would be helpful.

EDIT: It is starting to come back to me. I think I remember having to change some floats to ints or something like that to get the GUI to start without errors, maybe in the scaling function? Whatever it was I don't remember it being a lot of work to get going, and at the time I had very little if any python or linux knowledge, and I still don't

It would be much appreciated if you would upload the installation directory.

Thank you very much!

I just ran some diffs on the original craftsman .py files and on my craftsman .py files in my config directory. Here are the results:

1. In craftsman.py I modified the paths on lines 18 and 25 to match my user-name. Also, it looks like I removed some parentheses on line 1122, but can't see any reason why that would be necessary.
2. In vfd_spindle.py I modified the path on line 13 to match my user-name.
3. In craftsman_toolchange.py I modified the path on line 7 to match my user-name.
4. In vfd_controller.py I modified the path on line 10 to match my user-name.

I ran diffs on all the other python files and as far as I can tell I did not make any changes to the code other than those listed above. I did add easygui.py to the craftsmancnc directory.

Again, it has been a long time (1-2yrs?) since I was playing with this GUI, and I can not remember exactly what I did to get it running. All I know is that is does run, that I have Python 2.7.3, and that I was not very impressed with the GUI. I will upload my directory when I figure out how to make a tarball.

Hope this info helps!

You can create a recursive tarball that retains permissions using the command " tar -cvpf output.tar sourceDirectory/* "

Thanks!
