Re: [Emc-developers] Stepconf-how to make a desktop launcher in python?

Just a sidenote that Ubuntu 6.06LTS (the standard for EMC2 enabled distribution in the past) was forcibly upgraded to current LTS (long-term-support) version. In other words, if it works in the linux distro usually provided on linuxcnc site - it satisfies most novices anyway. Someone who tries to i

[Emc-developers] comp names= (was Re: Opinion on halcmd idea)

On a related note, there's a feature that I quietly added to 'comp' on TRUNK that may be useful here. One problem that was mentioned elsewhere in the thread is that you not only have to set the number of 'or2' instances at the load-time of or2, but you have to agree on the numbering everywhere. T

Can't say I'm all that convinced. I tend to prefer to keep things modular. One file for each task. Les Chris Morley wrote: > Greetings > > After doing work with Stepconf I has come to my attention that having > multiple hal files can sometimes be messy. > > I was thinking a hal comand that sea

I think it would be a good idea to put the latency test in the cnc menu. Again it is just a 'desktop file. Les Mario. wrote: > but in that case we should provide the latency performance test > scripts (or links) on the desktop too, like I suggested before. > Because the latency test is what you

It'll probably come over as a rant, but to me it feels like imposing a developer to put all his sourcecode inside one file. Don't get me wrong, I think it's nice to see the effort you're putting in stepconf lately, I'm just worried it gets too configurable which will: a). allow the user to really

[Emc-developers] Opinion on halcmd idea

Greetings After doing work with Stepconf I has come to my attention that having multiple hal files can sometimes be messy. I was thinking a hal comand that searches a file for user defined headers with syntax like the INI file, such as: [ FIRST_SECTION ] Then runs all the commands till it re
