You have to specify the editor in your ini file. If your on Debian you have to add Gedit.

Re: [Emc-users] G edit and velocity
Hi Wallace . I got the same problem when I made a new installation using the Debian Wheezy package. As John told you , you should specify the editor program you want to use into the INI file. Keep in mind that Debian comes with an editor called Mousepad . So if you want Gedit working you should download it and install it and then declare it as the dafault editor into the INI file.

[Emc-users] Lathe/turning CAM solutions

Re: [Emc-users] Lathe/turning CAM solutions
Tom You only really need a CAM package for parts that are contoured. I.E. not regular OD, Face, Id and such. For the standard stuff I use NGCGUI and LatheMacro. Both of these are found under the example configs. For the contour stuff I use Cambam. The lathe module is not very strong and does not cut ID curves. It does the job for me though. All the other things can be done with the two options I mentioned. I use both of them all the time. The Lathemacro tool from Andy Pugh is very good for cutting tapers and radii.
