Hey Aurelien, I don't see any reason why it would not work on your lathe but the viewer is currently hardcoded to the XY plane but we would like to add DZ and other planes of view as well later down the road. As for the toolchnager, you can toggle HAL pins or even execute system commands from user-defined button presses, there shouldn't be any issues making a toolchanger work but keep in mind that this GUI runs withouth X at all so anything that would require X will not work with this GUI like HALWATCH and other utilities. We do plan to include a watch element for making machine setup easier.
I'm not familiar with the pendant, does the GUI read the events then send them to the RTAPI? Or does the RTAPI read events from the pendant? If the GUI handles the events, then you would have to create an input driver to read the events, this is fairly straight forwar On Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at 7:51:32 AM UTC-4, Aurelien wrote: > > Hi > > I think it's a very good idea to do this type of GUI, for sure Axis is > very slow with BBB, same when use from SSH forward X. > > I have orderd a 13 inch toochscreen for my lathe but using it with actual > GUI is not really pleasant. > > > > I don't know if this is possible but for me the best is something like > that : > > 1 make possible to use Cetus from other device or computer and at the same > time make possible to run your GUI on the embbeded system with her own > screen like a very advanced pendant > 2 Use your GUI standalone > > If this is possible to test your GUI with my lathe config with > XHC-WHB04B-6 pendant and 13" touchscreen you make me happy, i have rewrite > a toolchanger with HALUI cmd for display error message and i also like to > try if work with your project. > > For now i'm thinking about replace this touchscreen with android tablet... > > Br All. > > > > > -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
