Ok, sounds good.  Let us know how it goes.

Sebastian,

I have some catching up to do. I do not think I have done a commit since
switching from VNC to git, and have not setup the development environment
since switching back to Debian. I still run production headless on Xubuntu.
I am currently out of town but will look at it next week after I return.

Regards,
Eric

Hi Eric!

Do you have any interest in maintaining linuxcnclcd in the Joints/Axes
branch?  There are some changes to how jogging and homing are handled, that
require updates to all the UIs.

I am the author of that module, I actually thought it had been dropped some 
time back. It uses LCDProc to drive any number of LCD type displays. I ran into 
a problem with keypress / keyrelease for jogging, in that it was not supported 
by the LCDProc library, although it was supported by the specific devices I was 
targeting (Matrix Orbital). I patched the library, added an entry for the 
function in the ini file, etc. and submitted a patch to LCDProc, but it was 
never applied. As a consequence, I dropped development on the module.

I have not checked lately to see if perhaps that feature has since been 
supported.

I think the only description for linuxcnclcd is a brief comment in the source 
code:
https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2957cc5ad0a463c39fb35c10a0c14909c09a5fb7/src/emc/usr_intf/emclcd.cc

It's a GUI that run on one of these:
https://www.matrixorbital.com/product_info.php?products_id=427

Which I think is intended to mount in the front panel of a PC case.
It's quite a compelling idea for a LinuxCNC interface, but I don't know if 
anyone knows if it works or not.

Furthermore, I just noticed:
"Please note these products are discontinued, and have limited
availability, they are not recommended for new builds, for orders of
25 units please contact sales."
There may not be much point continuing to distribute (but not mention
anywhere in the docs) an interface for hardware that you probably
can't buy any more.

Hello LinuxCNC users, I want your feedback.

There's been talk among the developers lately about removing two old 
GUIs: xlinuxcnc and linuxcnclcd.  They are old and out of date and 
largely unmaintained, and they are going to need a bunch of updates to 
work with the "joints/axes" feature that's currently being prepared for 
the upcoming release after 2.7.

So, is there anyone out there using those GUIs?

Not me, said the axis man, 3 instances of it running here, although I may 
at some point see about useing gnocappy.  But thats a ways down the 
road, mainly because I have other things to accomplish before I get to 
that.  I tend to not fix what isn't broke.  Or to hack up a solution in 
hal.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
