GUI for PlasmaC - QtPlasmac

Spray with vinegar, leave for a day or two then add a layer or two of clear coating !
Yeah, and add a CyberPunk logo... The GUI colour is already there.

Nicely done!
We have one more GUI developer now!
Regarding the jog Z axis while working, maybe i was not clear about it, the only setting to change the cut height should be THC voltage, so the existing override is OK, but i would like to have it as ALL plasma cnc machines, THC voltage.
And Rod, you are lucky, AutoVolts leaves the torch very close to material on both of my machines, but i do use it to compare torch voltage and on the big machine with the 120A source it helped me cut about 40% faster the 3mm plates i cut mostly. I was way off with manual settings!

That looks good Pedro, nice layout.

I think its good to see good constructive feedback and ideas from different people. I am a firm believer that you make better decisions (and designs) by involving others. But as always, you, the Boss has the final say!

And it is even better as a picture instead of words, I am much better at understanding pics

I'll have to see how this fits in with the standard 16x9 screen.

It must be the latent designer in you (even if you say you are hopeless at it!)

I don't think there is one of them in here
I don't have a creative bone in my body which is why I was reticent to begin a GUI attempt after the first bomb. When this layout came from Pinder I at least had something to work with.

It would be soooo much easier if there was only one GUI size...

Oh to hell with it, i kept my mouth shut enough !
I want bigger LED's, much bigger,
I want bigger buttons,
I want buttons much more separated, just in case i get a touch screen,
I want the actual voltage much, much bigger so i can see it from across the shop
I want a 2 meter tall blonde,
I want popcorn ......
Oh wait i have popcorn, back in 4 minutes ..
ALL of the above is a joke, so cool down, well except popcorn ... and the blonde

Rod,
So I have a question for you guys. Do you ever use the preview in other than Z axis (plan view)?
I do use it quite often,
Rod,
Tommy, this could possibly be used to move forward the controls you want from the other tab.
I do not want more stuff there, just voltage instead of overrides, but i got used to overrides so i am good.
Rod,
I'm not sure why Autovolts for you makes the torch lower, it does not have anything to do with torch height
It has everything to do with torch height, autovolts is based on the torch height (Phill, correct me if i am wrong here), it is sampled at whatever the cut height is set to and used as a reference, comes to think of it, i might have had it to low, wait i'll go facepalm myself and come back after the red has subsided from said face.....although i did try the THC delay from 0 to 1.5 sec and it was always to low at under half a mm above the plate.
With that said, Phill did a great job at figuring out the relations between voltage and height and arranged it absolutely perfect, hence i keep repeating i can live with overrides.
Popcorn .....
