I am not sure what LinuxCNC "brings to the party" here. This seems like something tahat could be done in any user-space GUI environment (Whether QT or Glade or Visual Basic) If you are (vaguely) comfortable with Glade and Python then it shouldn't be too hard to come up with a table-based GUI that compiles the required serial commands and parses the return data. (An example of what I mean by a table-based GUI is here: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-questions/31804-cnc-tube-bender-based-on-linuxcnc-ideas?start=10#82686 That is embedded in Touchy, but there is no reason that it couldn't be stand-alone in Glade. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
