RE: EMC Control Panel



Nice.

Does it overcome the metric/standard conversion issues in the bin version of Tkemc?

I couldn't find it in the drop box. What am I looking for?

I hit a little troublesome snag on my new gui.  It isn't tkemc it is a
bastard child that uses many of the same Tcl/Tk processes that tkemc uses. 
I have finished most of the writing for a 640x480 version of it and will
ship it to you tomorrow.  I will also put it up on the dropbox then.

A screen shot is attached so that, if it makes it past the NIST
firewall, you can see that it is not just vaporware.

BTW - I put the feedhold toggle on the pause key.  It seemed to be the
right thing to do.  It also got me around the problem of typing into one of
the editor window while the EMC is running a part and hitting an f and
having that put the machine into feedhold.  Guess that I should do a little
more with bindings.
