gmoccapy

A gmoccapy-hoz hozzá lehet adni beépülő Glade-ben készült programokat az Axis, Touchy és Gscreen felületekhze hasonlóan. Mindez automatikus megtörténik amennyiben az INI fájl DISPLAY szekciójába beírunk pár sort:

Ha még soha nem használta a glade panelt akkor itt talál róla egy nagyszerű leírást. Glade VCP

Csak arra kell ügyelni, hogy a fentiek szerint a három sor szerepeljen minden újabb fül vagy oldal panel esetén,
A három sor magyarázata:

EMBED_TAB_NAME
Az a bejegyzés definiálja a fül vagy panel nevét. Tetszõleges név választható, de valaminek szerepelni kell.

EMBED_TAB_LOCATION
Ez a bejegyzés mondja meg, hol lesz az új program helye a grafikus felületen belül:

A különbözõ beállításokra az INI fájlokban találhatók példák

EMBED_TAB_COMMAND
Ez a végrehajtandó parancs leírása:

Például a fenti sor elindítja a dro.glade nevû glade fájlt. A fájlnak a konfigurációs könyvtárban kell lennie, általában ez a /home/felhasznalo/linuxcnc/configs/ könyvtár

Ez a sor megnyit egy új h_buttonlist.glade nevű önálló felhasználói ablakot amit a gmoccapy-tól függetlenül lehet mozgatni

A fenti sor a kamera képét fogja betenni a megadott helyre.Ügyelni kell arra, hogy a camview program telepítve legyen, mert alapértelmezésben nem kerül installálásra. További információ a camview-ról itt érhetõ el: cam view

A fenti példa beemeli a manual-example.ui panelt, egy egyedi Python kezelõt (hitounter.py) és létrehozza az összes szükséges HAL kapcsolatot a manual-example.hal fájlnak megfelelõen.

box_left - gmoccapy szövegszerkesztõ módban

box_right - gmoccapy MDI üzemmódban

A gmoccapy-ban is lehetõség van HAL-ból vezérelt üzenetek létrehozására. Ezt is az INI fájl [DISPLAY] részében kell definiálni.

Az alábbi példában 3 felhasználói üzenet megjelenítését definiáljuk pango nyelvi formátumban. Részletes leírás a pango nyelvrõl itt található: Pango Markup

Az idetartozó HAL láb névkonvenciók a HAl lábak fejezetben találhatóak User Messages hal pin section

This pin are provided to use gmoccapy’s internal tool change dialog, similar to the one known from axis, but with several modifications, so you will not only get the message to change to tool number 3, but also the description of that tool like 7.5 mm 3 flute cutter. The information is taken from the tool table, so it is up to you what to display.

usually they are connected like this for a manual tool change:

This pins allows you to show the active tool offset values for X and Z in the tool information frame.
You should know that they are only active after G43 has been send.

just connect them like so in your postgui hal.

Please note, that gmoccapy takes care of its own to update the offsets, sending an G43 after any tool change, but not in auto mode!

The position of the tool sensor and the start position of the probing movement, all values are absolute coordinates, except MAXPROBE, what must be given in relative movement.

this is not named TOOL_CHANGE_POSITION on purpose - canon uses that name and will interfere otherwise
The position to move the machine before giving the change tool command. All values are in absolute coordinates

the Python plugins serves interpreter and task

Here you can select how you wish the GUI to start. The main reason for this was the wish to get an easy way for the user to set the starting options without the need to touch code.

You have three options:

If you select start as window the spinboxes to set the position and size will get active. One time set, the GUI will start every time on the place and with the size selected. Nevertheless the user can change the size and position using the mouse, but that will not have any influence on the settings.

hide the cursor does allow to hide the cursor, what is very useful if you use a touch screen.

The check-boxes allows the user to select if he want the on board keyboard to be shown immediately, when entering the MDI Mode, when entering the offset page, the tooledit widget or when open a program in the EDIT mode. The keyboard button on the bottom button list will not been affected by this settings, so you be able to show or hide the keyboard by pressing the button. The default behavior will be set by the check-boxes.

Default are :

If the keyboard layout is not correct, i.e. clicking X gives Z, than the layout has not been set properly, related to your locale settings.
For onboard it can be solved with a small batch file with the following content:

the letters "de" are for German, you will have to set them according to your locale settings
Just execute this file before starting LinuxCNC, it can be done also adding a starter to your local folder

so that the layout is set automatically on starting.

For matchbox-keyboard you will have to make your own layout, for a German layout ask in the forum.

give the option to show the preview tab or the offset page tab if you enter the touch off mode by clicking the corresponding bottom button.

As the notebook tabs are shown, you are able to switch between both views in any case.

You have the option to select the background colors of the different DRO states. So users suffering from protanopia (red/green weakness) are able to select proper colors

By default the backgrounds are:

and the foreground color of the DRO can be selected with:

show dro in preview, the DRO will be shown in the preview window
show offsets, the Offsets will be shown in the preview window
show DTG , the distance to go will be shown in the preview window +

show DRO Button will allow you to display additional buttons on the left side of the DRO.

It will display:
one button to switch from relative to absolute coordinates,
one button to toggle between distance to go and the other states
and one button to toggle the units from metric to imperial and vice versa.

Use Auto Units allows to disable the auto units option of the display, so you can run a program in inches and watch the DRO in mm.

size allows to set the size of the DRO font, default is 28, if you use a bigger screen you may want to increase the size up to 56. If you do use 4 axis, the DRO font size will be 3/4 of the value, because of space reason.

digits sets the number of digits of the DRO from 1 to 5. NOTE: Imperial will show one digit more that metric. So if you are in imperial machine units and set the digit value to 1, you will get no digit at all in metric.

Grid Size
Sets the grid size of the preview window.
Unfortunately the size has to be set in inches, even if your machine units are metric. We do hope to fix that in a future release.

Show DRO
Will show the a DRO also in the preview window, it will be shown automatically in fullsize preview

Show DTG
Will show also the DTG (direct distance to end point) in the preview, only if Show DRO is active and not fullsize preview.

Show Offsets
Will show the offsets in the preview window,

Mouse Button Mode
With this combobox you can select the button behavior of the mouse to rotate, move or zoom within the preview.

Default is left move, middle zoom, right rotate

The mouse wheel will still zoom the preview in every mode.

Select the file you want to be loaded on start up. In other GUI changing this was very cumbersome, because the users where forced to edit the INI File.

If a file is loaded, it can be set by pressing the current button to avoid that any program is loaded at start up, just press the None button.

The file selection screen will use the filters you have set in the INI File, if there aren’t any filters given, you will only see ngc files. The path will be set according to the INI settings in [DISPLAY] PROGRAM_PREFIX

you can set here the directory to jump to if you press the corresponding button in the file selection dialog.

This lets the user select what desktop theme to apply and what error and messages sounds should be played. By default "Follow System Theme" is set.

For the different Hal Pin to connect MPG Wheels to, you may select individual scales to be applied. The main reason for this was my own test to solve this through hal connections, resulting in a very complex hal file. Imagine a user having an MPG Wheel with 100 ipr and he wants to slow down the max vel from 14000 to 2000 mm/min, that needs 12000 impulses, resulting in 120 turns of the wheel! Or an other user having a MPG Wheel with 500 ipr and he wants to set the spindle override which has limits from 50 to 120 % so he goes from min to max within 70 impulses, meaning not even 1/4 turn.

By default all scales are set using the calculation:

Some users want to jog there machine using the keyboard buttons and there are others that will never allow this. So everybody can select whether to use them or not.

Default is to use keyboard shortcuts.

Please take care if you use a lathe, than the shortcuts will be different. See the Lathe section

There are additional keys for message handling, see Message behavior and appearance * WINDOWS = Delete last message * <STRG><SPACE> = Delete all messages

you have three options to unlock the settings page:

Default is use unlock code (default = 123)

The start RPM sets the rpm to be used if the spindle is started and no S value has been set.

With the MIN and MAX settings you set the limits of the spindle bar shown in the INFO frame on the main screen. It is no error giving wrong values. If you give a maximum of 2000 and your spindle makes 4000 rpm, only the bar level will be wrong on higher speeds than 2000 rpm.

This settings will have influence on the jog velocities.

If this part is not sensitive, you do not have a valid INI file configuration to use tool measurement.

Please check Auto Tool Measurement

Probe information
The following information is taken from your INI file and must be given in absolute coordinates

Probe velocities

Tool Changer
If your 4’th axis is used in a tool changer, you may want to hide the DRO and all the other buttons related to that axis.

You can do that by checking the checkbox, that will hide:

This will display small popup windows displaying the message or error text, the behavior is very similar to the one axis uses. You can delete a specific message, by clicking on it’s close button, if you want to delete the last one, just hit the WINDOWS key on your keyboard, or delete all messages at ones with <STRG><SPACE>.

You are able to set some options:

You can allow or disallow the run from line. This will set the corresponding button insensitive (grayed out), so the user will not be able to use this option.

Default is disable run from line

If this button is active, nearly every button press or relevant action of LinuxCNC will be logged in the ALARM history. This is very useful for debugging.
