Greetings all.
Two questions:
I need to control the background color of a spinbox, to use as an
"active" tally.
Can this be done in the pyvcp-panel.xml by adding a pyvcp pin?
Apparently not, I have chased thru every reference man page
spinbox references w/o finding a way to switch background colors
in real time from an input pin.
Its default is white and I'd like to turn it green when its running.
I'm hijacking the flood button for mist air flow as I may just use
it dry for sawdust blowing if carving wood.
Looking at my display so far, its appears I do have horizontal room
within that LabelFrame for some rect led's the same height as the
spinbox, and maybe 3 pixels wide. And they have color pin inputs.
Not as neat, but doable. And more, IMO, wasted screen real estate.
2nd question:
ping?
I may be miss-remembering, but ISTR that years ago, those
check buttons I had hijacked to run a jig open and closed
in the dim fog of my memory, did back then work mid program.
Now they are ghosted and don't work w/o stopping the program.
And stopping the program should disable them and does, but the state s/b
recalled when the program is restarted, but it is not, now you
have to re-enable that stuff again and again before re-starting the
program.
Am I miss-remembering?
For mister's it seems to take an extended run period because the plumbing
can drain and need refilled sometimes for around 3 minutes to reprime if
running really dry.
Thank you,
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
