Well, almost coherent : ) Thanks.

For months I did take in as much feedback as I could on CNCZone, I am sorry that I didn't get your feedback. Though, I wanted to be sure that the user knew which numbers were being read out. I had hoped that the radio buttons to chose a readout mode were fast enough to meet your needs. What I feared was: a machinist looks glances at the part, and back to the screen, only to fixate on the wrong number. As a design thing, there is also an redundant legend over the numbers themselves, which was removed, and then added back for safety. As far as the feedrate, as in Axis, the steps were meant to be user settable.

If I can find some programmers. I'm trying.

If enough people keep the thread alive, it might happen. Thanks, that actually cheered even me up!

BrendaEM after reading forum threads, may be we can hope that the great amount of work made by Chris & Co, specially on backend code, will be beneficial for other UI projects, easing the frontend development...

@ , but how could you have a user interface, without a "frontend?"

@@BrendaEM all application layers can be split in backend/frontend. Here, as I understand it, libqtvcp is the backend talking to app "core" and providing objects and functions to build UIs more easily and efficiently. Depending on how far this goes, could be a matter of "just" defining a new layout, color scheme, fonts and images to create a new skin for their work.

You might try the LinuxCNC forums.

I am sorry about the type. I hope if it's ever made someone will catch it.

By completing a design proposal, I've done all I can do. I should think that if any post left on LinuxCNC might help that along.

If it gets built, or something like it. Thank you.

@@BrendaEM Actually, the closest one I find is this one : github.com/kcjengr/probe_basic There is a lot to improve on but overall it seems not bad.

There has been no interest on Linuxcnc. I think I am getting the could shoulder.

Hi...I am sure if you publish your work files there will be HUGE interest and work from many people to make it real working project. Also, LinuxCNC will became a more 'modern' regarding user interface !! So, PLEASE publish ( upload ) your work and files to linuxcnc files and don't listen 'bad' people .... There still nice and professional people on the LCNC community !! They will continue your work on programming level. Thank you for your work !!

Emil Vasilev I agree 100% with Emil. It looks very good. You must have spent a lot of time creating this. I use gmoccapy, but will try your interface as soon as you publish it.

I am sorry. I forgot to cross-post the graphic file link: forum.linuxcnc.org/41-guis/35403-brendaem-s-graphic-user-interface-design-svg-proposal-source-files

@@emilvasilev7725 I am sorry that I forgot to cross-post the graphic files: forum.linuxcnc.org/41-guis/35403-brendaem-s-graphic-user-interface-design-svg-proposal-source-files

I am not sure. I had a bad time on LinuxCNC's forum. I saw them working on something. I felt that GMOCCAPY was a brilliant effort. I had just tried to expand on it, as well as "Axis." I had tried to merge the two together.

In the design proposal, there was a plug in screen, with selectable plugins.

Well, I tried to make it for routers, torches, and lathes.

They had started on a widget process, but that may have stalled. I really tried to help.

They are making something. I am not sure. Because of the problems I've had with LinuxCNC.org, I've been pretty hands off.

@@BrendaEM Can't find it, where I can find the user interface you're mentioning ?

@@BrendaEM You just didn't like disagreement. You wanted things changed, eg with the basic Debian desktop, that takes a couple of clicks of the mouse. Your design whilst pretty required a large screen for those users that don't have slender fingers, you didn't like this being pointed out. There was an impression you wanted many changes purely to suit your own needs. It was almost like a architect designing a building, without of a lot of knowledge of how things are built, handing it over to a builder and just expecting to be built without any further input. Not everyone is capable of everything, but it's neither fair nor polite just to drop something off and expect results. And to be fair when directly asked what license you wanted to release your work under there was no reply. The mods were fair and took action when you had issues, but it wasn't the action you wanted. You were wanting a particular user banned and you didn't get your way. It was not the fault of the forum or the mods, things just went from cordial to bad to worse. At the end of the day it would appear both users removed themselves from the forum. To all of those that are being held back from using Linuxcnc because the "screens look dated" you are missing the point. After having used Mach, grbl & Linuxcnc I can say that Linuxcnc is a far better choice, as far as I can see as a user. Yes the learning curve is steeper, HAL can be daunting, once you grasp a basic understanding the power is there. Even tho there is framework to use the qt toolkit gmoccapy & axis seem to be the more popular screens. Only time will tell what will happen in the future. Now that there is work being done on a respin of Mint pre installed with Linuxcnc hopefully more users might feel a bit more comfortable and not have to go through the work required to get some devices to work under Debian.

@@awomandoesnothaveapenis, Yes, because people use not only this interface but other touch screen interfaces, such as Gmoccapy and Touchy, I wanted LinuxCNC to reconsider how much real estate their Menubar used. Windows, Mac, Linux Cinnamon, Linux Mate, or Raspberian used that much. I am sorry, but on modern 16x9 aspect ratio screens, vertical real estate is not plentiful. Even modern browsers hid their real menu bars. I also requested that they update the documentation; you can be angry at me for that, if you want. Tell everyone. One LinuxCNC mod issued a warning to someone from using vulgar language at me because I wanted to help. Week after week this jerk told people that I wasn't going to finish it. He complained that the design was taking too long, that I wasn't going to release it, that a design itself has no value. He broke up conversations during the design discussions. He followed me around elsewhere on the forum, posting after any post I posted. In any other forum, he would have been banned. How dare I try to give something back to the community? There were a few people on LinuxCNC, who I may not have the best interests of LinuxCNC at heart. I also worry about commercial compromises affecting LinuxCNC; I hope these worries are unfounded. The people here have spoken: 420 for this design, 4 against, and I strongly suspect who 2 of the 4 are. 19,000 people are interested is this. While I was inquiring about the documentation, I came to admire the beauty of LinuxCNC, and the adaptability of the HAL system. Do you think I would have worked for months to come up with a fresh interface for something I didn't believe in? When it comes down to it, the value of the design were the people on the LinuxCNC forum, who contributed valuable input, who shared with me the needs of people with not only CNCs, but also lathes and torches. Still, the design is based and a compromise of LinuxCNC's other existing interfaces, as mentioned and credited in the video. All of them have their merits and value. I tried my best to find a compromise, and offer a user interface design proposal for LinuxCNC. As you may read on the forums, it took a long time, but, before I suggested a path to programmers and artists, I wanted to make sure it was a valid one, because their time and effort is valuable.

Unfortunately, it's just a mockup, a suggestion for improvement.

I am still ever hopeful that someone at LinuxCNC might take it as a project, and then it will be free for all.

Noted. You might want to check the other comments.

@@BrendaEMThese Comments are all made by Hobby machinists, none of them have a professional background..

@@dumetwatches6451 , Hey, I even put included functionality for a status light-pole or alarm.

@@BrendaEM What i'm seeing here is just like a Haas CNC, or Mach3 control.. the literally cluttered with buttons.. Heidenhain, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, Fagor, and many other CNC Controls have "Function keys" Softkeys, the function depends on the menu you're currently in.. saves a lot of Screenspace.. and.. Why on earth would one need a Graphical Display when milling or turning?.. You only need it for programming or program checking.. after that.. why show it?.. Just look into the machine.. if you are there.. Most of the time, basically always.. i hit start, and do something else.. what would i care about a Graphical screen?.. Ok.. my CNC Control (EdingCNC ) has that, but.. i rarely look at that when the machine is running.. because i only return to a machine when it is finished..

Hi, I am sorry, but likely not yet.

@@BrendaEM Well the mock-up looks good :-)

@@MrZhefish , thank you : ) I had hoped that the attention of 16,000 people, with a 99% like rating would encourage LinuxCNC to recognize the value of their software, and perhaps find some commonality in their interfaces. Most of what I did was a merging of LinuxCNC interfaces, and add a bit of Blender-style window dressing. Still, a house cannot be built from the facade back, and libraries need to be developed.

@@BrendaEM have you inquired with a programmer about the extend of work that needs to be done? like how many hours it takes to develop it?

@@MrZhefish , I have not been much on LinuxCNC since the end of the project. I have had some misgivings, as the moderators let someone make make the time I spent on the forum miserable. There are many fine people on LinuxCNC's forums, though I feel that one of them should have been banned, but was not. That stated, where this interface is good, is largely from the gracious input of several members of LinuxCNC. The interface itself is a compromise and derivative of all of LinuxCNC's existing interfaces. I just wanted to find a compromise between them, and give something back--and it really went bad for me. I offered them a design proposal. It's up to LinuxCNC what they do or do not.

Not at this time.

...And yet your comment could have been shorter, too : )

I am sorry that I do not have a translation. Cool laser on your channel.
