[Emc-developers] GladeVCP status update: GladeVcp in same place as PyVCP

2010-12-20 Thread Pavel Shramov
Yesterday Jeff merged another bunch of changes gladevcp into master. This patchset consists of fixed keyboard issue in axis, support for gladevcp in same place as pyvcp, correct postgui halfile, gladevcp manpage and lot of cleanups. First to mention is keyboard fix. Since Tk don't respect XEmbed

That is some sophisticated smoker control.. :-) Seems to me that the hard part is getting the thermocouple inputs into the PC without going bankrupt. Did you see this ?? http://www.circuitcellar.com/library/print/0503/moyer154/3.htm Perhaps something like this but instead tied an Arduino or a

2010-12-20 Thread Leo Williams
I have several nearly identical vmc's I'd like to retro to emc. I am working on the first retro now. The machines are too large to reach the control during setup. This means a remote jog pendent with a remote mpg/ axis/ axis increment selector is the best option. However I see no provision in axis

[Emc-developers] today's gladevcp merge - missing dependency

2010-12-20 Thread Michael Haberler
I fear in today's gladevcp merge we have missed the python-configobj dependency in debian/control.in it is required for gladevcp persistence support - I would be grateful if that could be added sorry about that. -m --

Jon, It's not just a simple temperature control... It needs some smarts, that's why ATM I'm using a PLC with a dual thermocouple input and a touch screen to and several SSR's perform the tasks. I need two or more temperature probes (thermocouples not thermisters) one controls the cabinet tempe
