[Emc-users] gvcpDRO
In case anyone might be interested, I posted my latest manual mill DRO updates: http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/LinuxCNC/gvcpDRO/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/LinuxCNC/ The -2 version has a velocity display feature. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ -- ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

Kirk; Interesting - I did just sell my drill press, and am finishing up a G0704 mill conversion, and would like to run it with an MPG and a very simplified screen. You might have the building blocks there to do this... :-) Thank you - John. -- ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

Looks really nice Kirk. I have a manual lathe that I have scales for but haven't bought a display device yet.

I'm still trying to figure our how to set background colors to make the axis information stand out a little better. One option is to use an eventbox and set the box color, but I haven't figured out how to access the eventbox in GladeVCP. I'm not really worried about it. I just need something that works. You can get everything you need (except a break-out-board) for $150 with something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251681642709 which would also work well when you upgrade from a manual DRO to CNC. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ -- ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

(I am not sure if the encoders would count fast enough, but then manual mills probably don't move that fast) -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto -- ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
