06:49 AM rdtsc-wk: Top o' thee mornin' to ye
09:46 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> is it morning already?
09:50 AM lcnc-relay: <meisterdippel> depends on your location 🙂
09:55 AM lcnc-relay: <Travis Farmer> pretty near lunch time for me... 🙂
10:06 AM lcnc-relay: <meisterdippel> 5 PM in germany
10:07 AM Deejay: indeed
10:08 AM Deejay: nearly evening meal time
10:35 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> which CAD aps are low cost or free for hobbyists that also support design collaboration?
10:36 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> are any of the low cost or free ones set up like Git with only a core team or single person as an admin?
10:44 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> Onshape is free and allows collaboration but you're at their mercy like F360
10:44 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> they can drop features or the whole project at any time
11:01 AM bjorkintosh: ... with apologies, of course.
11:08 AM lcnc-relay: <captainhindsight_.> like Google apps
11:20 AM bjorkintosh: ... with apologies, of course.
11:35 AM Tom_L: JT-Cave, you can make up your own dynamic property?
11:38 AM Tom_L: is that how it gets passed to the external program?
12:23 PM jpa-: captainhindsight: ondsel
01:20 PM JT-Shop: Tom_L, I'm not following your question
01:30 PM JT-Cave: dunno what "it" is...
01:42 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> JT-Cave: hey. gotta claim a bit of ignorance here..... have you put any probing in Flex yet? do you plan on it?
02:04 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> if yes, via gcode or python ?
02:14 PM Tom_L: JT-Cave, dynamic property 'mode' isn't on the list of property types. can you make up your own?
02:15 PM Tom_L: and is that how 'touch' gets passed to the external program?
02:20 PM lcnc-relay: <roguish> Famous Amos, of cookie land, has left the house......
02:44 PM JT-Shop: Tom_L, the dynamic property is string type and the name is mode
02:45 PM JT-Shop: https://github.com/jethornton/flexgui/blob/master/flexgui/src/libflexgui/startup.py#L1228
02:45 PM Tom_L: ok
02:45 PM JT-Shop: and because the dynamic property is a string type you can have the string value touch
02:45 PM Tom_L: so you can call them whatever you want
02:46 PM JT-Shop: yup, I think the names must be unique for each widget, but I've not verified that
02:47 PM JT-Shop: rouguish you can probe with any gui just use chris's subroutines
02:47 PM JT-Shop: nothing magic about that at all
02:47 PM Tom_L: they might act like the 'group' widgets where there is a main one at the top and everything below follows it's properties
02:49 PM JT-Shop: hmm what is a group widget?
02:50 PM -!- #linuxcnc mode set to +v by ChanServ
03:02 PM Tom_L: maybe 'class' is a better word... where several widgets inherit the parent properties
03:02 PM Tom_L: like you were doing with your qss file
03:06 PM Tom_L: i'm testing a minimal gui
03:06 PM Tom_L: what is necessary for estop to work?
03:06 PM Tom_L: i'm building it up and testing as i go
03:10 PM Tom_L: ...typo
03:19 PM rdtsc-wk: JT, isn't a group widget the little box that goes around several controls, to "group" them all together?
03:19 PM Tom_L: that wasn't what i was referring to
03:22 PM Tom_L: http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:443/~webpage/cnc/JT-SHOP/flexgui/experimental.png
03:22 PM Tom_L: that's about as bare as you can get and it works
03:23 PM rdtsc-wk: might be good to include that as a "if this don't work, something is wrong with your config"
03:24 PM Tom_L: i'm just testing
03:24 PM Tom_L: you never know what could break something
03:25 PM rdtsc-wk: I still can't run any gcode in flex - Dragon runs though, and that config was copied and edited for flex. Thinking of trying the new .iso from scratch though.
03:26 PM Tom_L: i've run all my ui with sim and the rpi one on metal
03:39 PM rdtsc-wk: If you want to try the latest 3.9.3 Rpi .iso: https://forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc/53210-pi4b-and-pi5-users-what-should-go-in-a-2-9-3-image?start=20#307535
03:40 PM CloudEvil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtqSTgE8wks When your easiest way to machine something is to add a whole new spindle to your machine.
03:40 PM Tom_L: what's the date on that?
03:41 PM rdtsc-wk: the forum post? Last edit: 12 Aug 2024 07:57 by rodw.
04:03 PM Tom_L: for now i'll stick with the one i have. it works
