highlander01 / pythoncncgui-grbl Goto Github PK

I recently did some running in windows. Windows Python does some text limiting to Gcode files when I am opening them. To fix this I found adding self.gcodetc1.SetMaxLength(99000) lets me open bigger files as I would like to do. If 99000 is not big enough for you make it bigger. I will try to get this fix into the online code soon.

I just downloaded and tried to run UC_vlk.py. I after installing a few additional python modules I received the following error.

python UC_V1k.py

The program 'python' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 330 error_code 9 request_code 137 minor_code 8)

I'll be happy to provide more info.

Hi

I'm very excited about your project, but having problems getting it going on my Mac. My first problem is getting your modified grbl to work. I have the code up in the Arduino IDE, compiling and downloading okay, but it is failing during initialization. Debug printPgmStrings show that there is an issue with st_init. If it is called, the Arduino seems to crash, by which I mean that I see the "'$' to dump current settings" message on power up, but I don't see the startup message: "Grbl 0.51\nok". The board also doesn't respond to serial commands.

In st_init, the line that directly causes the crash is: TIMSK2 |= (1<<TOIE2);
If I comment that line out, I get as far as the "Grbl 0.51\nok" message, but no further.

As I'm using the Atmega328, rather than your 1280, I wondered if that was contributing to the issue? I suspect this is a simple config issue, but I'm new to the Arduino, so any hints you can give would be welcome.
