Yes John I also hope there is somebody who van help me out of that hole.

I'm not a real programmer., have only some vague ideas about coding.
And I do not want to go the mgcgui way, seems to much effort for me.

I have to assume "to much effort" is referring to there might not be subroutines already written to cover your needs.

It can't be the installing of ngcgui as that only entails adding a couple of lines to your ini file and copying a couple of files to the correct directory. And using it is dead simple. I just don't want anyone reading this thread to get the wrong idea about ngcgui. I'm not pushing it on you at all.

Maybe I'm wrong, and missunderstood but.

I'm not clever enough to write programs like the ones in the wiki. But I'm very happy to use them !!
And I got the impression that using ngcgui leads into real programing....

I'm able / learned to understand and use G-code ... If it gets difficult I use mastercam to convert my Solid Edge projects.

I start to unterstand .ini, .hal and pyvcp. And can realize my special configuration wishes.

I'm able to use the phyton programs for fast demands. Starting them via bouttons was a "nice and sexy" solution...
But naturally I can do it also via file menue, if my dream is not easy to get.... Sniff. Still in hope

I do not want to say anything against ngcgui etc. , as I admire peoples that can do real codeing, like mocca, but I will not go that way myself.

I try to keep things simple...

Mocca is a whole different thing than ngcgui, it is a user interface like Axis. ngcgui is an add on to Axis and requires no programming what so ever to use. As I mentioned all you have to do is add a couple of lines to your ini and copy a couple of files and ngcgui is added to Axis. If you can cobble up some g code then you can make the g code subroutine for ngcgui.

For example a short one that does OD threading on a lathe:

(info: G76 Profile Roughing)
o<th-od> sub
; this section is used by ngcgui to prompt you for the values used
; in the subroutine
#<tool> = #1 (= 7 Tool)
#<rpm> = #2 (= 250 RPM)
#<diameter> = #3 (Diameter)
#<tpi> = #4 (TPI)
#<inital_depth> = #5 (= 0.005 Inital Depth)
#<thread_depth> = #6 (= 0.045 Thread Depth)
#<spring_pass> = #7 (Spring Passes)
#<z_start> = #8 (= 0.100 Z Start)
#<z_end> = #9 (Z End)
#<x_offset> = #10 (= 0.025 X Offset)
#<q_angle> = #11 (= 29.5 Combine Angle)
#<coolant> = #12 (=8 Coolant)

#<pitch> = [1/#<tpi>]

; this part is the g code to do  the threading
G7 G18 G20 G40 G49
T7 M6 G43
M#<coolant>
S#<rpm> M3
G0 Z#<z_start> X[#<diameter> + #<x_offset>]
G76 P#<pitch> Z#<z_end> I-#<x_offset> J#<inital_depth> K#<thread_depth> Q#<q_angle> L2 E#<thread_depth> H#<spring_pass>
M5 M9
G53 G0 X0 Z0
o<th-od> endsub

The subroutine is the part between the sub and endsub tags and is just g code.
