Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

Halo Marius,

you are able to get me crazy

OK, in detail:

- why do you leave a bunch of unneeded files in a directory for your machine? I deleted most of them.
- The problem was, that you did include in [TRAY] MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY, but that section should never take this, I changed that one to the correct value MAX_VELOCITY and that's it.
- I do not know if it is necessary, but I recommend to add HALUI = halui at last line in HAL Section, but do use that one only if you must! I have not tested all through with gmoccapy, so there may be side effects using that hal module.

Find attached the cleared archive.

Hi Norbert
All I do is copy the sim directory for gmoccapy and then I delete what I dont want later. Is there another way to start a new config?

That part of the ini file comes from the 2.5.3 production config for the same machine. I created a config with stepconf in 2.5.3 to get the hal that I want and then used that together with the sim stuff. Why is it an issue here and not in 2.5.3 or is that section changed?

I am trying to find the pyngcgui stuff for gmoccapy but I cannot seem to locate it. Has it moved?

Who did tell you to do that?

If you make your config in 2.5.3, OK, even if I do not know why not to take stepconf from master.

You should than have a folder linuxcnc/config/my_Machine

Just take that folder and copy that one to linuxcnc-dev/configs

After doing that, just start that config without any changes, if it starts without errors, then just edit your INI according to the WIKI and you should not have problems.

[TRAY] did never had an option MAX_LINEAR_VELOCITY, at least as far as I know, the strange error is surprising me.

In regard to the pyngcgui stuff, i think I lost that one changing from gscreen to stand alone.
I have never loked at that, because I am developing together with a German a differnt way of getting gcode. As far as I know Dewey Garrett is taking care of that software, so best is to ask him if he is willing to bring it back to gmoccapy.

Should not be so complicated, as it is just an embedded_tab.

Ah the stepconf program that writes to some other directory. I forgot aout that issue. Nobody has to tell me to do all kinds of funny stuff, I manage to do that all by myself

I have the pyngcgui stuff sorted. I was just wondering why it was not on your directory. I will ask Dewey to help.

My system is up and running again with all the latest software so now I can get work done on the panel again.

Thanks for all your patience and help, I do appreciate it very much.

Hallo Marius,

you are a very good bug finder and we do need people to manage strange behavior. That is the only way to make software stable and reliable!

So go on!

Norbert
