Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

@Norbert

Is this the kind of graphic that we must use?

Just rename the image to top_left.svg

Hello all,

I think gmoccapy is a great GUI but there are a few things that don't suit me very well. I don't have a touchscreen, and I thought the interface could be cleaner and more space efficient. So some months ago I put some work in to a modification of gmoccapy to suit me better.
I have a few hardware buttons (feed start/stop, feed override), but otherwise use the mouse and keyboard

Tonight I dusted it off and thought I would share it.

I have planned to implement a probing tab like is being discussed.
I still need to work on the buttons along the bottom, improving looks and functionality.



I made a GCode quick reference - I forget some GCodes when I don't use my machine for some time.



I have attached some screenshots and the actual files. At present these are just modified gmoccapy files - if you want to try it:
Backup gmoccapy.py from /usr/bin
Place modified gmoccapy.py in /usr/bin (you'll need to use sudo)
Backup gmoccapy.glade from /usr/share/gmoccapy
Place modified gmoccapy.glade /usr/share/gmoccapy (you'll need to use sudo)





I would like to develop this further as a fork / offshoot of gmoccapy, but I'm not sure how to put a whole new named GUI, directory structure etc. I think I would call it LCNCScreen

@pippin88,

I do like the gcode quick reference guide, unfoftunately i am not able to download the modified gmoccapy code.
Getting an 404 error.

Next i would bet you to report to moderator to move your post to an own thread, as your purpose will envoke a lot of discussion and is therefor completely wrong here!

I will be pleased to give you advice on how to get your project working, but not on this thread!!

@marius,

I will check on this, wheni am back from holiday!

Is there a way to do a manual tool change without stopping the code?

I am using the tool number to change the x,y,z and radius offsets, but I am not physically changing the cutting tool.

It all works good, except I have to hit the OK button every time there is a call for a tool change, I would like it to just skip the pop up window and continue cutting with the updated offsets

G43.2 could be used instead of a tool change to offset the length. I suppose I am too much of a noob to understand why you would use an offset different from the tool other than transient tools.
