Hello,

I am working in a manual lathe conversion to CNC using LinuxCNC V2.5.0. Currently it is working with Axis, but i want to switch to Touchy. Before i make the CNC panel and buy a touch screen monitor i want to test it with the PC keyboard.

Do you have any example how to connect the Touchy button's (Abort/Start/Single block/Wheel counts) to the PC keyboard ?

Thanks you in advance,
Victor

IIRC touchy works with a mouse otherwise you can test with Axis until you get your touch screen.

you could use hal_input to connect a keyboard (like a second one) or any USB HID to connect to touchy.

I can't see any formal description in the manual on hal_input but there are man pages.

It is working, the solution is:

INI File:
[DISPLAY]
EMBED_TAB_NAME=GladeVCP demo
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND=gladevcp -c gladevcp -x {XID} -u hitcounter.py -H gladevcp-touchy.hal manual-example.ui

gladevcp-touchy.hal file:
#Program Stop
net cb1 gladevcp.check => gladevcp.led1
#net cb1 => halui.program.stop
net cb1 => touchy.abort
#Program Run
net b1 gladevcp.button => gladevcp.led2
#net b1 => halui.mode.auto halui.program.run
net b1 => touchy.cycle-start

But now I HAVE A NEW PROBLEM:
In Touchy GUI the X and Z axis moves only at 100 mm/min regardless of G0 or G1 program code. That does not happen with Axis GUI.

100 mm/min is the only value, regardless of G0 or G1 program code.

Will it move slower than that? What happens if you increase feed-override?

Did you create a whole new config, or just change the GUI line in the INI file?

The first place I would look would be in the INI file in the [TRAJ] and {AXIS_N] sections.
