I'll be very happy to test for you, but I'm trying to find the time to build my control cabinet and still have to acquire my servo motors. Everything else is here and just needing assembly now. Looking forward to actually using what you've done. :)

Hi Nick:

I'm very interested in three things:
- To test the controls (currently I'm trying to load it into CNC without success). I've been able to run the control alone, but not inside the rest of the environment.
- To add more controls. Just you have done what I was started to do. yesterday I connected a Tormach passive probe to my JC6090 router through a small miniArduino (altough tormach passive porobe is "passive", working with a resistor divisor it is possible to detect very small pressures on the tp).
- We are working adding a MACH 3 Pendant ( XHC4 Wirelles for Mach3) to Linuxcnc
Can we share our work?

We need a ".ini" example of how you are loading the control inside the GUI of linuxcnc. I've tried without been able to work with it.

Yep, probably we have to make better installation instructions.

Have you done everything that mentioned in readme github.com/cnc-club/linuxcnc-features/blob/master/README.md ?

If features component is successfully added to glave_vcp vidgets then to load Features all is needed is to add to ini

GLADEVCP = -U --catalog=catalogs/lathe.xml features.ui

and you'll gonna need features.ui file with following content:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <interface> <requires lib="gtk+" version="2.16"/> <!-- interface-requires gladevcp 0.0 --> <!-- interface-naming-policy project-wide --> <object class="GtkWindow" id="window1"> <property name="type_hint">combo</property> <child> <object class="GtkVBox" id="vbox2"> <property name="visible">True</property> <child> <object class="Features" id="features"> <property name="visible">True</property> </object> </child> </object> </child> </object> </interface>

Or you should be always able to run Features as a separate window with all functionality including preview, just start features after LinuxCNC and axis are already loaded, and provide Features with ini file location using --ini=[path to ini]

Also tell me which help you need. This kind of work really is very nice for me.
