Chris What files would i have to transfer to machinekit to get gaxis_no_plot to work? gaxis_no_plot_handler.py and gaxis_noplot.glade etc. Or will i have to do a full install of ubc3? Charles did give me the instructions to install your ubc3 and i did try gaxis_no_plot but is it possible to give it another go without this process? Also how easy is it to drive from the keyboard?

Re: [Emc-users] John Thorntons Gui3 Sample in Linuxcnc 2.6pre
So does the instruction NO_FORCE_HOMING = 1 in the [TRAJ] section no longer circumnavigate this? Also i hit a new snag yesterday while setting up machinekit gui. Up until now i have had no problems with the gui running but after changing the hal file to run my actual machine,the machine on button is now greyed out. The original Hal File used to look like this:- # this input signal must be active LOW to allow the system to energize. # this should be fed through an NC STOP type switch from DB25-1 to DB25-10 net estop-in bb_gpio.p8.in-09 = iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in setp bb_gpio.p8.in-09.invert 1 I now have the following lines in my Hal file:- newsig test bit sets test 1 net test iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in Is this not enough to enable the power button or has something been changed in there as well? The power button works fine if i switch the gui to axis or gscreen it just no longer works in my custom gui. The above changes were to circumnavigate the E-stop on a xylotex Db25 cape.

Re: [Emc-users] John Thorntons Gui3 Sample in Linuxcnc 2.6pre
I can confirm the very hight CPU Usage of gscreen gaxis! I use an AMD ATHLON X2-4800+ with 2 GB Ram, not optimized, so no isolcpus etc, because I use this one as development PC. Gcsreen Gaxis uses 70 % of CPU 2 and 30 % of CPU 1. If I startAXIS; It uses aprox the samne amount of CPU Usage. Original gmoccapy with gscreen background uses 99 % of CPU 1 and 35 % of CPU 2. I am just making gmoccapy stand alone and I try to optimize as much as possible. I can't give values of the CPU usage yezt.

It seems to be purely using the power and estop widgets. But the estop widget is useless because we have bypassed it in the hal file as stated. Chris I don't recall any emc_stat widget in the tutorial but i may be wrong. I will load up the glade file on my developer os and check Yes i did try the Gaxis no live plot but i had lots of errors etc and thought i would write my own. Big mistake!!! 1 week later and a lot less hair,and i am just scratching the surface. On 07/02/14 15:38, Chris Morley wrote: Do you have an emc_stat widget in the glade file? When you say gscreen uses 90% cpu, which skin if gscreen? Gaxis no-gui should be the least cpu hungry. Gaxis second least.

Everything works fine with axis and Gscreen but it will not work with my custom Gui. At the end of the day it must be something in the Gui. I just followed JT's tutorials and it worked fine until i try to put it in a real setup. All i wish to do at the end of the day is write a simple Gui for machinekit that shows the needed info for running a cnc,but without the cpu usage that Gscreen etc uses. The simpler standard Gui examples like Mini etc do not even show the current feedrate etc. I thought it might be easier to write my own but unfortunately there seems to be a total lack of current up to date info on this process,other than johns tutorials. As an example when using Gscreen/Machinekit cpu usage is about 90% when idle??? When using mini etc it is around 14%.

I use an AMD ATHLON X2-4800+ with 2 GB Ram, not optimized, so no isolcpus etc, because I use this one as development PC. Gcsreen Gaxis uses 70 % of CPU 2 and 30 % of CPU 1. Gaxis with or without gremlin? Sounds like with. Do you use software opengl or hardware accelerated Sounds like software. If I startAXIS; It uses aprox the samne amount of CPU Usage. Yes most of that is the graphics plot Original gmoccapy with gscreen background uses 99 % of CPU 1 and 35 % of CPU 2. I am just making gmoccapy stand alone and I try to optimize as much as possible. I can't give values of the CPU usage yezt. Norbert Cutting the update rate of Gremlin helps a lot - I toyed with the idea of making it settable. The source_view widget uses a lot too. We could probably optimize the widgets to use hal_stat rather then their own.
