I have completed the CNC conversion of my Monarch 10EE except for the
spindle speed control. For now I must set the spindle speed manually
with the speed knob.
Until I have figured out how to control the 10EE speed from
LinuxCNC I would like to have a message or notice to show up in my
Axis custompanel where I have the spindle speed readout and
the Spindle at speed Led.
I would like for it to say:
"set spindle speed to #71 RPM" .
But of course #71 is a variable and it is calculated in my
threading program based on the maximum Z axix velocity I want to
thread at and the pitch of the thread I am cutting. So it would
really say something like:
"Set Spindle Speed to 325 RPM" where 325 is the value of the
calculated variable.
I can't put it in a MSG because MSG won't accept variables. I
could put it in a PRINT statement but it would only show up in a
terminal window if I started LCNC from a terminal. Which will work
but is not very cool presentation-wise.
Is there a reasonably simple way to get a variable to display on the
Custompanel ??
Thanks,
Cecil
