Yes, you can write a stand alone GladeVCP app. The method would be very similar to the pyVCP examples. For both methods one needs to have a good understanding of HAL. Going through the HAL tutorial might be a good place to start. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/html/hal/basic_hal.html Once you get comfortable with using a terminal to load modules, set up threads, run functions and connect pins to nets. You can look into using Glade and GladeVCP's HAL interface to put a face to your HAL back end. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
