04:45 AM Tom_L: morning
05:16 AM JT-Mobile: morning
07:25 AM Tom_L: i think all the jog stuff turned out great
07:25 AM Tom_L: i would like to figure out if the radio button has colors for the circle
07:29 AM JT-Mobile: it's the indicatpr
07:29 AM JT-Mobile: indicator
07:29 AM Tom_L: i was trying to find that examples link but may have lost it
07:30 AM JT-Mobile: https://paste.debian.net/1394024/
07:30 AM Tom_L: ahh
07:33 AM Tom_L: i also thought about fixing the metric subroutines on touch-probe3
07:33 AM JT-Mobile: yeah I'm glad I finally fingered out the keyboard jog code
07:33 AM Tom_L: that's alot of work
07:33 AM Tom_L: but spud seemed to want them in metric
07:34 AM JT-Mobile: can't spud do some work
07:35 AM Tom_L: he seems pretty sharp
07:35 AM Tom_L: you tell him something and he goes with it
07:36 AM JT-Mobile: fixing the xyz tool change
07:36 AM Tom_L: what's wrong with it?
07:38 AM JT-Mobile: it's broken
07:41 AM Tom_L: that steak looked good
07:42 AM JT-Mobile: the whole meal was outstanding
07:44 AM JT-Mobile: xyz has tool change buttons but doesn't use the axis manual tool change
07:46 AM Tom_L: where's the docs for those?
07:46 AM Tom_L: i don't remember them
07:49 AM Tom_L: tool_change_pb_(n) ?
07:50 AM Tom_L: tool_touchoff_(axis letter) ?
07:52 AM JT-Mobile: what's broken is tool_changed_pb
07:52 AM JT-Mobile: I 'think' I have a name conflict
07:52 AM Tom_L: oh
08:37 AM JT-Mobile: somehow somewhere tool_changed_pb is getting appended to state_on
11:05 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> good morning...... cool here now. NOAA forecast is 99 this afternoon
02:42 PM JT-Mobile: pushed some fixes for flex
02:43 PM Tom_L: ok
02:43 PM Tom_L: did you find that mystery one?
02:43 PM JT-Mobile: yup
02:43 PM Tom_L: state_on...
02:43 PM Tom_L: good
02:44 PM JT-Mobile: yup because it was a hal button it got grouped with them
02:44 PM JT-Mobile: but that button is special for tool changes without using axis manual tool change
02:47 PM Tom_L: PR #339
02:50 PM JT-Mobile: thanks
02:52 PM JT-Mobile: got rid of all the lintian warnings too!
02:52 PM Tom_L: keeps getting better
02:53 PM JT-Mobile: yup
02:53 PM JT-Mobile: I'm glad I had time to fix the jogging code to be consistent with all 3 jog types
02:53 PM JT-Mobile: keyboard, buttons and jog selected
02:54 PM Tom_L: the axis version is nice and compact
02:54 PM Tom_L: will it do A?
02:54 PM Tom_L: or jus xyz
03:03 PM Tom_L: xyzabcuvw....
03:03 PM JT-Mobile: just the first 3 axes
03:03 PM Tom_L: not what the docs say :)
03:03 PM JT-Mobile: the 4th axis can be anything really
03:03 PM Tom_L: 0-8
03:03 PM JT-Mobile: are we talking about keyboard jogging?
03:04 PM Tom_L: no axis style
03:04 PM Tom_L: with the radio button
03:04 PM JT-Mobile: the axis numbers are fixed 0-8 yes
03:05 PM JT-Mobile: the 4th axis can be any of abcuvw but the axis number is fixed
03:10 PM JT-Mobile: axis uses [] to jog the 4th axis
03:11 PM Tom_L: right
03:11 PM Tom_L: are you gonna do that with the keyboard jog?
03:11 PM JT-Mobile: libflexgui/status.py:65: # FIXME there must be a better way to show the toolbar toolbuttons
03:11 PM JT-Mobile: libflexgui/status.py:71: # FIXME find a better way to set leds when estop is tripped
03:11 PM JT-Mobile: dunno
03:11 PM Tom_L: i'd wait til someone asks
03:11 PM JT-Mobile: yup
03:12 PM JT-Mobile: I did fix the power button color when an external event turns off power
03:12 PM JT-Mobile: like tripping a limit switch
