Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments

2017-01-14 Thread Nicklas Karlsson 
It would be good with links like this on the linuxcnc home page and of course 
even better with files themselves if there are no copyright restrictions.

I have attachad a pdf-file which is interesting.

Yes and zoom on step length to fine tune. To scale values in widget is probably 
a very good idea since it is not real time and only need to be done once. As is 
now I added scaling to real time thread which require quite many rows and use 
real time execution then really not needed.

I think this is common and have often heard the noise of switches in 
measurement instruments as they switched range. If best possible measurement 
accuracy is needed this is the method to.

This is harder, an offset is needed.


I have seen a few improvements and sooner or later I should get enough time to 
look at them.

I could confirm it works perfect, it was a really simple fix.

Then I look at code to add a widget does not seem to hard.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments

2017-01-10 Thread Chris Morley 
I pushed a fix for hal_dial to 2.7 - not sure what you are using.

eventually it will cycle thru to master (and later releases)



The fix is simple (two lines) if you wish to just add it for now.


in gladevcp/hal_dial.py



# handle the scroll wheel of the mouse
def _scroll(self, widget, event):
if event.direction == gtk.gdk.SCROLL_UP:
self._count += 1
self._minute_offset +=1
self._delta_scaled += self.scale #<<<<<<<<<< this one
if event.direction == gtk.gdk.SCROLL_DOWN:
self._count -= 1
self._minute_offset -=1
self._delta_scaled -= self.scale #<<<<<<<<<<< and this one
self._last_offset =  self._minute_offset
self.redraw_canvas()
self.emit("count_changed", self._count,self.scale,self._delta_scaled)

I tested on my machine it seemed to work fine after that.

In sort of the delta scale is a little bit slippery. It slip while using the 
mouse wheel and only graphics is moving but no update of value. Then left mouse 
button is held down and dial is moved by moving mouse pointer both graphics and 
value is updated.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments

2017-01-10 Thread TJoseph Powderly 
a lot of the pyvcp widgets suffered from update problems
i dont know about gladevcp widgets, but it sounds similar.
how to fix in gladevcp, i dont know. i have not looked at the widget 
code yet
i will set up some oscillating value for a glade meter to follow and 
experiment
I understand the need for scaling the meters, sort of zoom to look 
closer at the process
in real machines, we had a switch on the ammeter to change the shunt, 
and a switch on the voltmeter changing resistor divider
an electro-mechanical solution so we could watch low voltages and low 
current better
we had no solution to watch midrange values closer

Yes it does but it also have a bug.

It only works then moved by the mouse but value is not updated then using the 
mouse wheel sd I did during the first try, it is good enough for now. I could 
fine tune and will finish of others before starting something new.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments

2017-01-10 Thread Chris Morley 

Hal dial has a pin called delta scale I think. Then changing the scale (by 
clicking) only changes the scale of future dial moments, which is what I think 
you want.

I discovered the limitations of the hal inputs, what is needed is:
  min
  max
  scale
  increment value
  increment value change from GUI
  A choice to between actual or scaled value

None of the do it all.The hal dial may change the scale but what is really 
needed is possibility to change increment value for fine tuning.

Despite these small limitations I still think glade user interface designer is 
really good. Since source code is available it is also possible change, if 
anybody could give me a hint maybe I could look into it but I better start with 
the unfinished g-code database, I think where will be  few hours for it this 
weekend.

Re: [Emc-users] EDM machining, user interface, increments

2017-01-10 Thread Nicklas Karlsson 
I discovered the limitations of the hal inputs, what is needed is:
  min
  max
  scale
  increment value
  increment value change from GUI
  A choice to between actual or scaled value

None of the do it all.The hal dial may change the scale but what is really 
needed is possibility to change increment value for fine tuning.

Despite these small limitations I still think glade user interface designer is 
really good. Since source code is available it is also possible change, if 
anybody could give me a hint maybe I could look into it but I better start with 
the unfinished g-code database, I think where will be  few hours for it this 
weekend.
