External HMI

Good morning,
I am looking for a way to develop an HMI under Windows allowing to take control of linuxCNC by network.
At SIEMENS with an 840D we can fully develop an HMI under windows allowing to send programs to change tools and to display the XYZ values ​​etc... Is it possible with LinuxCNC?

THANKS.

I don't know if that is really feasible or why you would want to do that but maybe this thread forum.linuxcnc.org/41-guis/37489-java-ui-for-linuxcnc can give you some clues of what would be involved.

If you just want to change tools or display position maybe there are easier ways to do that. forum.linuxcnc.org/10-advanced-configura...splay-some-questions

I have developed a fairly advanced HMI that works with an 840D and I would like to make it work on linuxCNC.

Architecture of this github.com/machinekit/QtQuickVcp might also give some clues as to how such a remote GUI can be implemented. Basically instead of a traditional GUI, some kind of RPC wrapper is running on / with linuxcnc, and remote GUI is communicating via some RPC mechanism (probably based on zeroMQ and protobuf, but not sure). Machinekit is a fork of linuxcnc.
