GladeVCP Builtin Panels

A GTK based version of the third party Verser probe.

This is a version from 2015 by Serguei Glavatski which has less functionality than the current, but it takes up less space on the screen (no DRO e.g.). This can be useful on smaller displays.

For Reference - The Current Version

The documentation and source code of the current version can be found here:

Modification of the INI file to use as embedded panel in Gmoccapy ```ini

RAPID_SPEED = 600

# for package install: SUBROUTINE_PATH = ./macros:/usr/share/linuxcnc/nc_files/gtk_probe/

# For RIP installation, use the path according to your directory: # SUBROUTINE_PATH = ./macros:~/linuxcnc/nc_files/probe/gtk_probe/ ```

Example using dbounce with a Mesa card (HAL file) ```hal # ---probe signal--- loadrt dbounce names=dbounce.probe addf dbounce.probe servo-thread

setp dbounce.probe.delay 5 net probe-db dbounce.probe.in <= hm2_7i96.0.gpio.000.in net probe-in motion.probe-input <= dbounce.probe.out ```

--- === GTK Little Probe A GTK based version of the third party Verser probe, modified for a tabbed layout for smaller displays.

This is a modification of the 2015 version of GTK Verser Probe. It moves the elements from one window to containers with switchable vertical tabs. The goal was to reduce the window size.

Example using dbounce with Mesa card (HAL file) ```hal # ---probe signal--- loadrt dbounce names=dbounce.probe addf dbounce.probe servo-thread

setp dbounce.probe.delay 5 net probe-db dbounce.probe.in <= hm2_7i96.0.gpio.000.in net probe-in motion.probe-input <= dbounce.probe.out ``` ---

This screen allows the user to verify whether they have a suitable and well-tuned PC for their Mesa card.

Although this screen was originally part of the configurator, it is not the configurator. It is a control system. Mesa tests uses data from a running LinuxCNC, but does not send any data to LinuxCNC, nor does it set anything. Parameter adjustment is only allowed to simulate the desired state.

NIC test:

Mesa Tests is a tool designed for beginners to sleep better or to know if they need to buy better hardware or tune their hardware better. It is better to use tools like Halshow or Halscope to monitor the parameters (pins,thread, …) used. The list of parameters is displayed on the right side of the screen.
