Hello All,
I have been on the emc-users list for some time now. I have a feature
that I would like to attempt to add to the LinuxCNC project so I joined
this list as I figured it was a better place to ask questions about
development.
I think that many users would greatly benefit from a GUI bas

I am trying to get Crapaholic to run. I have found the first issue and
was able to get it to run and "show" the running hal confguration. There
are some pretty major bugs as things have changed somewhat over the last
11 years. Is there a good python debugger that you all recommend. I
would like
I did some more debugging of Crapahalic last night. So some brief
overview of how it works so far. It uses halcmd show to generate output
that is then parsed through to determine the loaded hal components, the
pins for each component and the signals that are all loaded in the
current configurat

I am contemplating installing the linuxcnc live image on my laptop for
development purposes. This would make my laptop a dual boot windows 10
and debian wheezy. This is just for linuxcnc software development. Do
you all see any issues with this.
Thanks,
Jim

Hello all,
I have been working on this project slowly. I am still working based on
the crapahalic program however it is becoming less and less of what I am
using at the time being. My latest setback is when scaling the

configuration on a single design sheet. I plan on keeping this overall

I am working on the code that reads HAL files directly. I am using this
to get the loadrt statements so that I can split the components into the
subcomponents. What do you all think is the best method for determining
sub components? My first thought was to read the loadrt statements and
get the

I was running a program last night on my milling machine. I was cutting
air at the time and saw something that I did not like. I hit the stop
button in gmoccapy and the program stopped but then the tool plunged
downward in the z direction. I found this very odd. I took a look at the
tool offset
I wanted to update from 2.7.0 to 2.7.8 on my development machine. It is
a virtual machine running through Virtual Box. I ran the update with
Synaptic Package Manager. The packages were downloaded and installed.
However my application menu lost the linuxcnc config launcher and other
app launcher
Never mind. It is just not in the same order and I am apparently blind! LOL!
Thanks for allowing me to waste your time!

I am getting the following error when trying to build linuxcnc RIP.
Configure: error: Required Library 'readline' is missing
How do I rectify this?

I use gmoccapy on my milling machine. I really like that gui. Thanks
Norbert!
The one thing that I think is lacking is the way the tool table works.
It is based on the tooledit_widget. It is a real pain to modify the tool
table while in gmoccapy. To edit an entry you must check the line you

Should I publish the files to the 2.7 branch?

I think I could change it to use the key press event by adding in the
col_edited function and exiting the event handler sequence after the key
press event. I will give this a try today and report back on the results.

It is openGL and has NC interpreter for generating cad preview of G-Code.
I have not tried it just came across it.
