Same here. The automatic login works on every other forum I go to except this one.

Totally OT but might as well add my 2 penny worth!

Same thing regularly for me, I get the greeting so it registers the cookie but I am not logged in.

Found that I don't need to log in, just press F5 (refresh) and I am logged back in.

Using Firefox 11

psha did u manage ?

I've been playing a bit around with glade and with the use of the camera i managed to make a function i really wanted: rotate the program to reflect the rotated workpiece (i need it for double sided pcb's).

at first i tried to rotate and offset x and y at the same time but i am getting a small offset which i couldnt get rid off (maybe cuz g10 l2 rotates at machine origin?)

so by modifying the files i downloaded from wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Axis_Embed_Video i made two functions. one to find rotation from four points (two on backplot and two on actual workpiece) and execute. g10 l2 p0 r

the other one simply does g10 l20 which offsets the saved pos to current pos.

tonight or tomorrow i will try and post everything here. in the meantime i have a couple of questions to the gurus here:

through glade, is it possible that a checkbox turns on and off the camera? (same as in control) i want to turn it off because when the camera is on, my cpu gets hogged at 100%.

is there a function i can do to reload the current program (ctrl-r) (this needs to be done after offsetting)

no, packages are not there yet
hope i'll have time today

if you want checkbox/togglebutton to turn camera on/off - probably I should add input pin for this. at least it's not possible to disable camera from gladevcp panel in axis

if you want to reload program - take a look on gladevcp actions, there is reload one

ok m8 cheers
