Jan,
I agree 100% that if there is even a tiny lack of function then the slickest
UI in the world becomes garbage.
To clarify, I am not out to create super complex interfaces(though I am sure
some HTML5 sexiness will make its way in); the main goal is platform
independence.
I recall in the old EMC1 days there was a TCP/IP interface and I want to
make something similar to this, but with web sockets so the UI can either
live in a browser or a dedicated webkit-powered control(QT as an HTML5
enabled browser component).
You would be able to setup a nice linux box tuned for EMC and then access it
from another linux machine, a windows PC , tablet or even a smart phone
potentially.(smartphone control pendants would be excellent)

Beautiful solution for perhaps eh . . . . the wrong problem?
The machine shop does not really cry for a more beautiful and quicker
process display. I fact
The only sour point I pick up from lurking here is that every now and again
someone needs a
more FUNCTIONAL ui (In the sense that he/she/it has problems interacting
with the process
in a meaningful way.)
Otherwise there are plenty of loose ends still that people on and off cry
about, to get your teeth into.
Happy Hacking.

Hello all,
With all the html talk going back and forth.....
I develop machine software and have been tossing the idea around of creating
an HMI framework based on HTML5+Websockets.
The result would be to have a lean and mean web socket server running and
tied to EMC hooks in a similar way to the GTK interface.
EMC would be in place to do all of the work, and the web socket server is
only for interaction with the HMI.
Several methods would need to be supported for getting/setting Axis, IO,
G-code operations as well as configuration/system debugging stuff.
The graphics and UI tools available via HTML5+CSS3+Javascript are amazing
and platform agnostic. Web sockets bring Web UI performance pretty darn
close to native.
Is there anyone already working on something like this? Any pointers for
hooking into the various methods for HMI integration?(Might be nice to have
a developer manual geared specifically for UI stuff)
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any help,
-Brad
