Greetings all; I think I sent something like this earlier but can't find it on the list.
On my G0704, I would like to have the ability to expand the pyvcp on off switch it recently grew, into a multiple choice, showing essentially identical pyvcp panels EXCEPT fot the range of the tach. Currently it shows 3k rpms wide open, but I would like to be able to switch it to a 300 rpm full scale, and while I'm begging, a 3rd 30 rpm range so I could do things similar to what Sam is demoing on you tube. I see 2 ways to accomplish that, one is have 3 identical xml files except for the tach drawing commands, choices when turning the panel off & then back on. Perhaps even automatic, triggered by the S value input in the code, that would be kewl. The other would to convert the scale pins from parameters into pins that we could change in hal, and which would cause a redraw when they were changed. Or perhaps Something like prepending a number to the filename, and setting 2 digital outputs from motion to indicate which of the xml files was to be used when turning the panel back on. Which method sounds the most practical and do-able? Or is there an easier way and I can't see the forest with all those trees in the way? Thanks everybody.
