I discovered the limitations of the hal inputs, what is needed is: min max scale increment value increment value change from GUI A choice to between actual or scaled value None of the do it all.The hal dial may change the scale but what is really needed is possibility to change increm

Hal dial has a pin called delta scale I think. Then changing the scale (by clicking) only changes the scale of future dial moments, which is what I think you want. Chris M - Reply message - From: "Nicklas Karlsson" To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" Subject: [Emc-users] EDM machi

Yes it does but it also have a bug. It only works then moved by the mouse but value is not updated then using the mouse wheel sd I did during the first try, it is good enough for now. I could fine tune and will finish of others before starting something new. On Tue, 10 Jan 2017 20:45:24 +

In sort of the delta scale is a little bit slippery. It slip while using the mouse wheel and only graphics is moving but no update of value. Then left mouse button is held down and dial is moved by moving mouse pointer both graphics and value is updated. On Tue, 10 Jan 2017 20:45:24 + Chri

That sounds like a bug...wheel or mouse should move it the same. - Reply message - From: "Nicklas Karlsson" To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" Subject: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments Date: Tue, Jan 10, 2017 1:35 PM In sort of the delta scale is a little bi

a lot of the pyvcp widgets suffered from update problems i dont know about gladevcp widgets, but it sounds similar. how to fix in gladevcp, i dont know. i have not looked at the widget code yet i will set up some oscillating value for a glade meter to follow and experiment I understand the need f

Greetings all; I am up2date on the pi a/o this morning. So my first question is: Does the code I'm running have the latest commits from the work on the encoder, or is that strictly benefitting the software stepping crowd? In any event, it seriously needs help. I hooked up the analog scope so I

I pushed a fix for hal_dial to 2.7 - not sure what you are using. eventually it will cycle thru to master (and later releases) The fix is simple (two lines) if you wish to just add it for now. in gladevcp/hal_dial.py # handle the scroll wheel of the mouse def _scroll(self, widget,
