03:01 PM Tom_L: JT-Shop, so do you have a [FLEX] and [FLEXGUI] section now?
03:01 PM Tom_L: plot and manual toolchange are in [FLEX]
03:02 PM Tom_L: plot background color
03:02 PM JT-Shop: working on only having [FLEXGUI]
03:03 PM Tom_L: ok
03:03 PM Tom_L: makes more sense
03:03 PM Tom_L: something just froze the pc
03:04 PM JT-Shop: radar is getting colorful here
03:04 PM Tom_L: PR #284
03:05 PM Tom_L: i'll take care of that first
03:05 PM JT-Shop: Ok I'll bump the version here in a bit
03:06 PM Tom_L: moved the estop & power buttons to [FLEXGUI] and i get no colors now
03:07 PM JT-Shop: https://gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/flexgui/ini.html#colors
03:07 PM JT-Shop: did you rename them?
03:07 PM Tom_L: of course not
03:09 PM Tom_L: that's better
03:09 PM Tom_L: i still think you change things on purpose to see if i check
03:11 PM JT-Shop: ROTFLMAO
03:11 PM Tom_L: so i can add the LED_ stuff to [FLEXGUI] and it won't do anything until i add the dynamic properties to each button or label
03:11 PM Tom_L: or do you have labels done yet?
03:13 PM Tom_L: if you check the harbor cam around 4pm sat i'll wave :)
03:14 PM JT-Shop: labels might be done when you return
03:14 PM JT-Shop: yes you can add led stuff to the ini without any led buttons
03:14 PM Tom_L: i put them in as defaults so i wouldn't forget
03:15 PM Tom_L: no default color though?
03:15 PM Tom_L: i assume you set that to red in the .py file
03:15 PM JT-Shop: yup there's defaults for size, offsets, and color
03:16 PM JT-Shop: set what to red?
03:16 PM Tom_L: i didn't scroll down far enough
03:16 PM Tom_L: i see 2 more color defaults now :)
03:21 PM Tom_L: in led_indicator, boolean, what's the check box in bool for?
03:21 PM Tom_L: start enabled or disabled toggle?
03:23 PM JT-Shop: if it's checked you get a led
03:24 PM Tom_L: is led_indicator all i need for a minimum?
03:24 PM JT-Shop: yes
03:24 PM Tom_L: by gollie you're right!
03:24 PM JT-Shop: https://gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/flexgui/controls.html#led-buttons
03:24 PM Tom_L: i have that open
03:24 PM Tom_L: and tested against an exhisting ui file
03:26 PM Tom_L: the led kinda conflicts with the power estop ini colors
03:26 PM Tom_L: i'm sure it's working but you can't see it against a red background
03:27 PM Tom_L: i commented the colors out
03:27 PM JT-Shop: I'd think either colors or leds but not both
03:27 PM Tom_L: wait.. that's better
03:27 PM Tom_L: i'd forgotten to check the Bool box
03:42 PM Tom_L: it's still a bit much but you can see the led
03:42 PM Tom_L: will the log rebuild the index if i delete the index file?
03:42 PM JT-Shop: I also found that if you put a space after the button text the led has more room
03:42 PM Tom_L: i dunno why it hasn't created the calendar for april
03:42 PM Tom_L: yeah
03:42 PM JT-Shop: I've slept since I coded the log...
03:42 PM JT-Shop: rain getting close here
03:42 PM Tom_L: i know it takes a while to build the index since there are alot of log files
03:42 PM Tom_L: we had a little bit of hail last night and alot of wind
03:42 PM JT-Shop: windy here
03:42 PM Tom_L: i suppose i could delete some of the logs
03:42 PM Tom_L: they go back to 2012
03:42 PM JT-Shop: holy crap
03:42 PM Tom_L: i had some that went further back
03:47 PM rdtsc-w: LEDs add even more flexibility :)
03:51 PM Tom_L: doesn't work so well on 2 line buttons where you have BUTTON /n MORE
03:51 PM Tom_L: i made the button a bit wider and it's better
03:54 PM Tom_L: you didn't add Probe Enable yet
03:55 PM Tom_L: it did add the led just doesn't toggle
03:57 PM JT-Shop: yeah I knew I forgot something
