I have merged Gscreen into master. Gscreen is a GTK/gladeVCP/python based GUI.
There is an fairly complete overview on the wiki: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Gscreen Gscreen is still in development / testing. In fact that's why I merged it - so more people can exercise it. I'm sure there are some bugs yet and a few things are not slick as I want. I have used it on a small mill and others have tested it. Gscreen requires a fairly high res screen 1280x720 or higher I have tested with. At the moment machines only machines with XYZA or less are supported. It has been made to work with a touchscreen though a mouse is fine too. To do Gcode editing or MDI requires a keyboard (even with a touchscreen) There are sample configs under sim/gscreen and sim/gscreen_custom. Gscreen supports embedded programs eg gladevcp and webcams. Gscreen supports postgui_hal. It is pretty customizable. as well as embedding, the gladefile can be edited and since it uses glade_VCP frame work it can use similar python handler files. This part needs more work. Of course it supports GTK themes. There is a sample config that shows 9 axis buttons and a custom button that counts how many time you push it. You not going to be able to completely change the way it works but can change quite a lot. While Gscreen will not be for everyone I do think It at least stands as an example of what can be done with the gladeVCP toolset and python programming. I am not a programer by trade so I apologize for the unpretty code - I will continue to try and clean/simplify it. If you are so inclined please try it out and give feedback either here or in the forum. In the process of making gscreen, quite a bit of work has been done to gladeVCP widgets to make them more usable and a couple new ones, calculator and tooledit_gtk were added. The documentation still needs to be made... Chris M ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
