Hi Tom,

While trying to figure out my Mach lathe threading problem I noticed that KMotionCNC

got two updates that are deal breakers for me, namely G95 and M47

How do I add

-Pages

-Dros/Input boxes that retain/save values between sessions

-buttons

to screens?

I need the above controls to recreate my conversational programming from mach

Rgds,

Hi Tapio,

I assume you mean you are considering switching to KMotionCNC?

Pages: A Screen Script File defines the look of a page.  You can assign an action to a button to load a Screen Script File.

Dros: There are LabelDRO controls where text/numbers can be displayed

Input Boxes: There are Edit Controls that can be read by KFLOP.   See the Add Example in this Video:

https://youtu.be/uQWDttzKuDA?t=12m24s

Retain/Save values between sessions: Currently Values can be defaulted to fixed values and are not retained between sessions.  We will look into saving them to a file.

Buttons: See the example button style.

Regards

TK

Hi Tapio, Currently you cannot add more controls to the screens only re-purpose them.  There are currently 20 spare input boxes.  I suppose we could increase the number of them.  Do you really need more than 30? I don't think bandwidth would be a problem as things should only need to be transferred when things change or more likely when the User Pushes a button to "Apply" the changes.  Is that how you see it working?

Its either custom screens or with .net   Input/edit controls:   I watched the video couple of times but I still can't figure out how to put more controls on screen using screen editor. I need 30 or more input boxes. I aim to these to generate the g-code files so would the use of KFLOP variables cause unnecessary load on bandwidth?   Rgds, Tapio   Group: DynoMotion Message: 14828 From: Tapio Larikka Date: 5/30/2017 Subject: Re: Getting started with ScreenEditor?  Hi Tom,   Yes that is how I see it. Or perhaps instead of "Apply" I'd say "PostG-Code" like in mach threading wizard.   The code behind the button should take the values from inputboxes, generate a .ngc file and load it to kmotioncnc/interpreter   The above to be executed in KFLOP feels kind of detour to me   Rgds, Tapio Group: DynoMotion Message: 14834 From: Tom Kerekes Date: 6/1/2017 Subject: Re: Getting started with ScreenEditor? Troy/Tapio/Others, Here is another Screen Editor Patch http://dynomotion.com/Software/Patch/FixCheckboxMesg_40SpareEdit_EditPersists_V434i/KMotionCNC.exe Fix issue with Action Messages to Checkboxes checking/unchecking the checkbox but not changing underlying variable.
