Yes. http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui_halui.html#sub:MDI You add lines to the INI file with the G-code to be executed in it, write the pyvcp to create the buttons then wire the pyvc to the pins that MDI_COMMAND creates in your posgui hal file and it runs the G-code when the pin goes high. Alternatively you could link to keyboard keys with hal_input http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html//man/man1/hal_input.1.html -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
