I am wondering if it could be created as a standalone GladeVCP "tab" that could be embedded into any GUI.

I have been thinking of setting up something similar as a tab in my Touchy config.

Andy,

You and I have had a similar discussion in Emc-users. This probing tab is exactly what I want, and more. If you could pull this off my work would be done! Except for the pesky 4th axis post processor thing.

I have done a bit of work on it. But I rather got distracted by fun ways to store multiple scalable button images in a single SVG file...

i found this wile googling arround, seems to have integrated the github.com/cnc-club/linuxcnc-features/ into gmoccapy

Hi Andy
How far down the road are you with this. I am contemplating to start on this as well. It is much needed. I bought the software (Mach version) that you see in the pictures above some time ago when I still used Mach. I bought that package just for the probing but alas I no longer run my machines on Mach although I am still a distributor for them.

Maybe we can collaborate on this if you need to?

Not very far. I found myself indecisive about whether the best solution was a standalone monolithic tab or a set of GladeVCP widgets that could be added to existing tabs.

(Also, I couldn't decide between building the tab with PyGTK or whether to format it with a Glade XML file, which would require them to be widgets)

Sounds like a probing tab that incorporates in to any of the interfaces would be the perfect platform to indulge your "scalable button" distraction :whistle: Mariusl said he'd help.
