3) It's what we do here ;-)
:proj:
I am making progress , slowly. I'm trying to abstract the display driver as much as possible to avoid rewriting if i change the hardware. I'm building a simple screen/windowing system loosely based on Kivy (I suspect I'll run of RAM at some point and be forced to scale it back further).
How many here have played with RPIs PICOs and Python? Would anyone like me to expand on how this is supposed to work? Perhaps you could chip in with ideas.
Interesting, why the hatred of python? It has become the defacto scripting language for linux, and a lot of neural networks . I think it'll be around a while.
Re using a raspberry pi as a display. That's something I may well do for the grinder project. I'm leaning towards using the existing motors on the Yand Z axes (to save making geared handwheels) and using another pico or two to drive the servo h bridge. Adding a pi might give me enough power to do some simple cnc grinding (of drills etc.)
If you can implement the sliding woodworker's scale ( :lol: the inch fractional one), that would be the icing on the cake.......Funnily enough I was thinking the same. I find it much easier to move to a value on a dial rather than via the DRO. (Not that I'd want fractions!)
def Run(self,): #self.ScnMan.show("About") #time.sleep(3) #self.ScnMan.show("XY") self.ScnMan.show("woodworker") |
Looks really cool!
One thing I'd be tempted to do to it - when you hit your fraction "bang on" (or, at least, as close as you can given there's inevitably some which are 0.00005" "off" from the decimal conversion) - have the scale change colour. That way, when you're woodworking, you can pretend that you're being accurate :lol:
Hope it is gone for good,
We have the 'upgrade for your convenience' of the M27 to look forward to. One of the diversion routes is past our front door. :hammer:You have my deepest sympathy - I know some of the locals had the trucks from Felixstow and Harwich trundling past the home in the early hours when they closed the main road - It would caused nightmares ... had they been able to sleep.

I'm about two weeks out from a triple bypass and feel remarkably well. Scar from neck to belly , and a bruise from groin to heal of left foot.
As long as I gently marinade in paracetamol, Im ok.
