Back
[00:00:14] <Lcvette_1> like one of the little boxes you made
[00:00:22] <hazzy-lab> Absolutely, that is a good idea
[00:00:29] <Lcvette_1> so i can get a feel for what i need to make
[00:00:47] <Lcvette_1> and give it to you and you feed back to me
[00:01:00] <Lcvette_1> the we can establish a good work flow
[00:01:07] <hazzy-lab> What part do you think we should work on?
[00:01:39] <Lcvette_1> preferably something small but with a little bit of everything i might have to contend with
[00:01:53] <Lcvette_1> make sense
[00:02:01] <Lcvette_1> sampler so to speak
[00:02:30] <Lcvette_1> you have more experience so I'll let you choose
[00:02:45] <hazzy-lab> ok, sounds good
[00:02:48] <Lcvette_1> e just maybe circle what you need me to make
[00:03:11] <Lcvette_1> and I'll take that as my task list to accomplish
[00:03:39] <Lcvette_1> best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time
[00:05:36] <hazzy-lab> heh, just looking at PP, there is not really any part of the UI that it not best done with code
[00:06:18] <Lcvette_1> no icons?
[00:06:22] <hazzy-lab> really the only are the diagrams: http://www.cnc-club.ru
[00:06:44] <hazzy-lab> No, they just use text!
[00:07:01] <hazzy-lab> I guess thats good
[00:08:55] <hazzy-lab> BTW, have you ever look at hazzy? https://github.com
[00:09:17] <hazzy-lab> It was very much influenced by PP, but I never finished that version
[00:12:11] <Lcvette_1> yes, a while ago
[00:12:16] <Lcvette_1> i like it to
[00:12:50] <Lcvette_1> but i like more buttons
[00:12:54] <Lcvette_1> lol
[00:13:04] <hazzy-lab> haha, yes
[00:13:26] <hazzy-lab> It was just intended for my machine, I did not intend to share it when I wrote it
[00:13:34] <hazzy-lab> I still use it :D
[00:14:42] <Lcvette_1> for some reason i grew so accustomed to MSM that when i now look at a screen without buttons, it freaks me out
[00:15:18] <Lcvette_1> i like buttons and boxes
[00:15:35] <hazzy-lab> hahaha, now HSM freaks me out, so much info!
[00:15:40] <Lcvette_1> they tend to train the eye quickly
[00:15:46] <hazzy-lab> That is true
[00:16:07] <hazzy-lab> Brender does a pretty good job of that I think
[00:16:19] <Lcvette_1> yeah except the sliders
[00:16:32] <Lcvette_1> dear god the sliders
[00:17:05] <hazzy-lab> good, we're on the same page, lol
[00:17:29] <hazzy-lab> Liders for thinks that don't even make since to have sliders
[00:17:41] <Lcvette_1> i know
[00:17:57] <hazzy-lab> The cord system setting is a slider even, lol
[00:18:12] <Lcvette_1> i think she just said ooh, i like sliders everywhere i can fit them
[00:18:34] <hazzy-lab> yeah,I think so
[00:18:47] <hazzy-lab> copy/paste is easy
[00:19:30] <Lcvette_1> yeah
[00:19:45] <Lcvette_1> quick way to fill space
[00:20:10] <Lcvette_1> that she can complain about lacking later
[00:20:17] <hazzy-lab> yep, and looks fawncy
[00:20:23] <Lcvette_1> lol
[00:22:14] <Lcvette_1> so if you were to come a button from the park pilot screen what would you make it look like?
[00:22:34] <Lcvette_1> [23:49] * @hazzy1[m] uploaded an image: devider.gif (310KB) < https://matrix.org >
[00:22:39] <Lcvette_1> these?
[00:23:08] <hazzy-lab> Maybe, I like the way they can be used as indicators too
[00:23:11] -HaikuBot[m]:#hazzy- Maybe, I like the
[00:23:12] -HaikuBot[m]:#hazzy- way they can be used as
[00:23:12] -HaikuBot[m]:#hazzy- indicators too
[00:23:17] <Lcvette_1> lol
[00:23:28] <Lcvette_1> you're on a roll
[00:23:34] <hazzy-lab> hahaha
[00:23:48] <Lcvette_1> indicators?
[00:24:27] <hazzy-lab> Like the power and block del button backgrounds light when active
[00:24:45] <hazzy-lab> Normal buttons would not do that
[00:25:10] <hazzy-lab> Personally i prefer '90's' style buttons, line in axis :0
[00:27:14] <Lcvette_1> have to go look at axis now
[00:30:25] <Lcvette_1> http://linuxcnc.org
[00:30:50] * hazzy1[m] uploaded an image: image.png (99KB) < https://matrix.org >
[00:31:25] <hazzy-lab> I'm getting good at mocking up styles quickly :D
[00:32:55] <hazzy1[m]> Or
[00:32:59] * hazzy1[m] uploaded an image: image.png (99KB) < https://matrix.org >
[00:34:13] <Lcvette_1> you're a wiz
[00:34:23] <Lcvette_1> I'm pretty jealous
[00:34:51] <hazzy1[m]> hehe
[00:35:15] <hazzy1[m]> So you get the idea, we have lost of choices for how it looks :)
[00:35:23] <Lcvette_1> can you make the little green dot?
[00:35:34] <hazzy1[m]> sek
[00:35:42] <Lcvette_1> or is that image based
[00:35:53] <hazzy1[m]> Were do you whant them?
[00:36:00] <hazzy1[m]> No, code
[00:36:38] <Lcvette_1> like a pp button
[00:37:49] <Lcvette_1> i like the whole button illumination and the green Dot, not sure which more, you?
[00:38:09] <Lcvette_1> may depend on the button design
[00:38:11] * hazzy1[m] uploaded an image: Peek 2018-07-13 00-37.gif (100KB) < https://matrix.org >
[00:39:15] <Lcvette_1> now your just showing off
[00:39:30] <hazzy-lab> I think the green dot looks better on the 90s style buttons
[00:39:35] <hazzy-lab> Yes :D
[00:39:46] <Lcvette_1> i think it requires some contrast
[00:40:14] <Lcvette_1> background/button/dot
[00:40:37] <hazzy-lab> yes, that would be better
[00:40:53] <Lcvette_1> lighter background, darker button green dot
[00:41:05] <hazzy-lab> sek
[00:41:05] <Lcvette_1> light text
[00:41:06] <hazzy-lab> :0
[00:41:11] <hazzy-lab> :)
[00:41:28] <Lcvette_1> all about quick reading
[00:43:11] * hazzy1[m] uploaded an image: image.png (101KB) < https://matrix.org >
[00:43:13] <hazzy1[m]> More like this?
[00:44:40] <Lcvette_1> better
[00:44:49] <Lcvette_1> even lighter on the background
[00:46:58] <Lcvette_1> think half way between axis and that last one
[00:47:30] <Lcvette_1> i want to find the buttons fast but still have that cool factor
[00:49:29] * hazzy1[m] uploaded an image: image.png (100KB) < https://matrix.org >
[00:49:45] <hazzy1[m]> I'm not any good at choosing colors, but if you make a mock up an can copy it!
[00:50:08] <Lcvette_1> lol
[00:50:17] <Lcvette_1> ok, i see
[00:50:33] <Lcvette_1> the buttons follow the bsvkground color?
[00:50:42] <hazzy1[m]> I just realized that the Brender buttons are not that different from the MSM ones
[00:50:44] <Lcvette_1> not individual?
[00:50:58] <Lcvette_1> yeah
[00:51:07] <Lcvette_1> they are good buttons
[00:51:14] <hazzy1[m]> No, they can be set to any background
[00:51:49] <hazzy-lab> Brender buttons are growing on me, lol
[00:52:03] <Lcvette_1> let me look again
[00:54:48] <Lcvette_1> yeah
[00:55:06] <Lcvette_1> i just noticed why i was struggling with it
[00:55:15] <Lcvette_1> needs more contrast
[00:55:57] <Lcvette_1> or...a more defined button border
[00:57:04] <Lcvette_1> I'll who some sample up tomorrow
[00:57:11] <Lcvette_1> whip
[00:57:31] <hazzy-lab> that would be great!
[00:57:38] <Lcvette_1> to see if it makes sense in reality
[00:57:43] <Lcvette_1> lol
[00:58:26] <Lcvette_1> actually...lol
[00:58:30] <Lcvette_1> https://forum.strojirenstvi.cz
[00:59:01] <hazzy-lab> Hahah, your tools look better though
[00:59:06] <Lcvette_1> just that little bit of color seriation really helps define button locations
[00:59:15] <Lcvette_1> separation
[00:59:28] <hazzy-lab> Yes, your right
[01:01:02] <Lcvette_1> they did a really good job
[01:01:12] <Lcvette_1> i hate to say it
[01:01:16] <Lcvette_1> lol
[01:01:26] <Lcvette_1> i pride myself on design
[01:02:15] <Lcvette_1> but, they made the interface ready to read, follow and make sense of
[01:02:31] <Lcvette_1> easy*
[01:03:39] <hazzy-lab> they did, it might not looks great, but it is very functional, which is all that is important for a machine control
[01:05:00] <Lcvette_1> what parts do you think could look better?
[01:05:31] <Lcvette_1> maybe we can play with it there
[01:06:23] <hazzy-lab> things like the inputs looking like a bit of white out on the screen bother me, lol
[01:07:57] <Lcvette_1> ok
[01:08:12] <Lcvette_1> let me have a look at it
[01:08:23] <hazzy-lab> but that is nitpicking :D
[01:08:55] <Lcvette_1> yeah see it
[01:09:39] <Lcvette_1> maybe a border
[01:10:00] <hazzy-lab> Yes, I think a small border would do it
[01:10:09] <hazzy-lab> or maybe a shadow?
[01:10:21] <Lcvette_1> yeah
[01:11:24] <Lcvette_1> shadow might as some pop
[01:11:48] <Lcvette_1> i like it
[01:11:49] <hazzy-lab> I think it would
[01:12:31] <hazzy-lab> The PP guys don't have the option to do that kind of think, since the toolkit they are using it so old
[01:12:40] <Lcvette_1> is there any conflict in cloning pp with or own art and coding?
[01:14:25] <hazzy-lab> Legally no (im not a lawyer though ), as long as we don't use the same button images they do, they have those under a non GPL licanse
[01:14:58] <Lcvette_1> sweet
[01:16:59] <Lcvette_1> ok, i am gonna crash, i have an early docs appointment and some work to get out, then some probe wiring, and some graphics homework!
[01:17:06] <Lcvette_1> busy day
[01:17:23] <hazzy-lab> Ok same here!
[01:17:28] <hazzy-lab> night
[01:17:39] <hazzy-lab> Thanks for the discussion
[01:17:54] <Lcvette_1> yes exciting!!
[01:17:59] <hazzy-lab> indeed
[01:18:00] <Lcvette_1> night man

[10:48:02] <TurBoss> good morning
[10:55:26] <hazzy-lab> Hey!'
[10:55:48] <TurBoss> hell!
[10:55:48] <TurBoss> o
[10:55:52] <hazzy-lab> xD
[10:56:12] <TurBoss> yesterday spent all the whole day in bed :(
[10:56:43] <hazzy-lab> LOL, I was wondering what had happened to you
[10:56:51] <hazzy-lab> that good
[10:57:13] <TurBoss> not good
[10:57:17] <TurBoss> 😞
[10:57:42] <TurBoss> I don't know how to distribute the buttons on the cam widget
[10:57:47] -HaikuBot[m]:#hazzy- I don't know how
[10:57:48] -HaikuBot[m]:#hazzy- to distribute the buttons
[10:57:49] -HaikuBot[m]:#hazzy- on the cam widget
[10:57:54] <TurBoss> :O
[10:57:58] <hazzy-lab> hahaha
[10:58:32] <hazzy-lab> Hmm, you want them to be able to be hidden?
[10:58:48] <TurBoss> yes
[10:59:04] <TurBoss> or be shown in the video area
[10:59:16] <hazzy-lab> oh, that would be cool
[10:59:19] <hazzy-lab> Like overlays
[10:59:27] <hazzy-lab> I did that for gremlin
[10:59:55] <TurBoss> I'll work on the streaming thing
[11:00:02] <TurBoss> and leave the buttons for latter
[11:00:05] <TurBoss> yes!
[11:00:29] <hazzy-lab> Ok, I can look at the buttons
[11:01:01] <TurBoss> ok I'll push
[11:01:02] <TurBoss> ty!
[11:02:41] <TurBoss> done!
[11:03:42] <hazzy-lab> thanks!
[11:05:04] * TurBoss goes afk
[11:07:17] <TurBoss> ImportError: No module named xyz_rc
[11:07:36] <hazzy-lab> :(
[11:07:40] <hazzy-lab> Did you run make?
[11:07:53] <TurBoss> no
[11:07:53] <TurBoss> make
[11:07:54] <TurBoss> ok
[11:08:08] <hazzy-lab> Yes, now you have to compile python xD
[11:08:28] <TurBoss> :O
[11:08:46] <TurBoss> pyrcc5 not found
[11:09:21] <hazzy-lab> Hmm, you need the PyQt dev pacages
[11:09:45] <hazzy-lab> sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev-tools
[11:09:53] <TurBoss> sudo apt-get install pyqt5-dev-tools
[11:09:54] <TurBoss> ok ! ty
[11:09:56] <hazzy-lab> :D
[11:10:29] <hazzy-lab> I need to write some docs ..
[11:11:40] * hazzy-lab does to get the microscope to use as a camera
[11:11:45] <hazzy-lab> goes
[11:12:18] <TurBoss> hehehehe
[11:12:19] <TurBoss> fun
[11:13:25] <TurBoss> hurray!!!
[11:13:35] <TurBoss> got it!!!!
[11:13:45] <hazzy-lab> Fantastic!
[11:14:42] <TurBoss> found a bug :)
[11:15:24] <hazzy-lab> I know you like them, so I wrote a lot of them just for you :D
[11:16:30] <TurBoss> http://dpaste.com
[11:16:44] * TurBoss goes to take a shower
[11:16:46] <TurBoss> latter
[11:17:30] <hazzy-lab> cu
[11:17:53] <hazzy-lab> I think python does not like Spanish path names ...
[11:17:54] <hazzy-lab> xD
[11:19:33] <hazzy-lab> Specifically, there is a ntilde in your path name, that it does not like
[11:19:41] <hazzy-lab> ñ
[11:19:55] <hazzy-lab> Ill change the encoding
[11:28:54] <TurBoss> ty
[11:28:55] <TurBoss> coño!
[11:29:51] <hazzy-lab> Ah!
[11:29:56] <hazzy-lab> Almost fixed
[11:38:51] <hazzy-lab> Fix pushed
[11:39:09] <TurBoss> ty!
[11:39:14] <hazzy-lab> np
[11:43:13] <TurBoss> woah
[11:43:15] <TurBoss> load is fast!
[11:43:22] * TurBoss uploaded an image: Captura de pantalla de 2018-07-13 17-42-46.png (181KB) < https://matrix.org >
[11:43:44] <hazzy-lab> I did some optimizing on gremlin :)
[11:43:48] <hazzy-lab> Needs more
[11:44:08] <TurBoss> you are a genius!
[11:44:28] <TurBoss> from 15min to less than 1
[11:44:51] <hazzy-lab> Hurray! That is more of an improvement than I thought!
[11:45:08] <hazzy-lab> And did you notice the UI does not block?
[11:45:11] <hazzy-lab> its async
[11:45:31] <TurBoss> yes
[11:45:37] <TurBoss> great1
[11:45:38] <TurBoss> but ...
[11:45:55] <TurBoss> when I move the camera
[11:45:59] <TurBoss> it frezzes a bit
[11:46:24] <hazzy-lab> Yes, I can't figure out what causes that
[11:46:33] <hazzy-lab> it will stop doing that after a bit
[11:47:00] <hazzy-lab> I think it might actually have to do with the syntax highlighting in the gcode file
[11:47:12] <TurBoss> yes
[11:47:43] <TurBoss> hmmmmm
[11:47:44] <TurBoss> no idea
[11:47:49] <TurBoss> afk 5 min
[12:06:50] <hazzy-lab> https://gitlab.com
[12:07:03] <hazzy-lab> hide/show buttons
[12:07:29] <hazzy-lab> That should work
[12:08:50] <hazzy-lab> I just added a menu action for a demo, but you could also use self.ui.widget.hide() or .show()
[12:09:09] <TurBoss> great!
[12:09:11] <TurBoss> checking
[12:11:47] <TurBoss> works like a charm
[12:11:48] <TurBoss> ty!
[12:14:19] <hazzy1> great!
[12:14:42] <hazzy1> Ok, i'm off to put the engine back in the sprite
[12:14:48] <hazzy1> cu
[12:14:50] <TurBoss> great
[12:14:51] <TurBoss> bye

[15:13:47] <Lcvette[m]> you guys here?
[15:14:46] <Lcvette[m]> wanted to look at the current probing screen code and was looking through my config files and don't see anything specifically that looks like gcode for it
[15:15:44] <TurBoss> just arrived
[15:16:08] <TurBoss> the probing screen?
[15:17:06] <Lcvette[m]> the probe screen from github
[15:17:10] <Lcvette[m]> think i found something
[15:17:15] <Lcvette[m]> in the macros folder
[15:18:03] <TurBoss> can you paste here the url?
[15:18:04] <TurBoss> :)
[15:19:32] <Lcvette[m]> https://github.com
[15:54:41] <TurBoss> we should implement that on QT
[16:07:08] <Lcvette[m]> im trying to make a much better probing interface than that one
[16:07:26] <Lcvette[m]> that one is very.... lacking
[16:07:39] <TurBoss> oh great
[16:07:40] <Lcvette[m]> i just need to familiarize myself with how linuxcnc probing subroutine function
[16:07:59] <Lcvette[m]> need to understand the workflow
[16:08:10] <Lcvette[m]> its a little different in mach3
[16:08:15] <TurBoss> just found this
[16:08:17] <TurBoss> https://github.com
[16:09:49] <Lcvette[m]> unfortunately this looks like i will need to learn some coding
[16:11:25] <TurBoss> http://linuxcnc.org
[16:11:47] <TurBoss> http://linuxcnc.org
[16:11:52] <TurBoss> variables
[16:11:56] <Lcvette[m]> yes im aware
[16:12:05] <TurBoss> oh ok
[16:12:44] <Lcvette[m]> means it is going to take a long time
[16:13:05] <TurBoss> ah :D
[16:13:13] <TurBoss> yeah
[16:13:21] <Lcvette[m]> a very very very very long time
[16:14:15] <TurBoss> nah
[16:14:22] <TurBoss> just ask maybe I can help
[16:14:25] <TurBoss> but now... I have a duel
[16:14:28] <TurBoss> bye
[16:14:41] <Lcvette[m]> have fun!

[18:50:15] <TurBoss> sek
[18:50:15] <hazzy-lab> Do you now how to resolve that?
[18:50:38] <lcvette[m]2> what car is that

[18:53:15] <TurBoss> works?
[18:53:26] <hazzy-lab> yep!
[18:53:34] <hazzy-lab> It was libqt5multimedia5-plugins
[18:53:44] <TurBoss> great
[18:53:54] <lcvette[m]2> I spent the last couple hours reviewing reading over the probing routines and going through the Linuxcnc docs trying to make sense of how it all works
[18:54:15] <lcvette[m]2> I'm starting to see glimpses
[18:54:28] <TurBoss> what ?
[18:54:35] <lcvette[m]2> but it's gonna take some time and some examples
[18:54:44] <TurBoss> how can I help
[18:54:58] <TurBoss> I know nothing jhon Lcvette
[18:55:05] <TurBoss> :D
[18:55:27] <TurBoss> i can spend some time on that
[18:55:34] <lcvette[m]2> jhon?
[18:55:40] <TurBoss> joking
[18:55:50] <TurBoss> you know nothing jhon snow
[18:55:54] <lcvette[m]2> ah
[18:56:02] <TurBoss> but I
[18:56:48] <lcvette[m]2> the linuxcnc docs helped, but then they led me to some other questions
[18:56:50] <TurBoss> so you want to make a probe screen?
[18:57:04] <lcvette[m]2> such as parameter calls
[18:57:34] <hazzy1[m]> TurBoss: The new camera is much better than the old one ever was. Great work!
[18:57:45] <TurBoss> yes?
[18:57:49] <lcvette[m]2> great work!!
[18:57:50] <TurBoss> great
[18:57:59] <TurBoss> thank thanks!
[18:58:01] <TurBoss> :pP
[18:58:18] <TurBoss> less cpu ussage?
[18:58:27] <lcvette[m]2> nice
[18:58:34] <hazzy-lab> yes, and not laggy
[18:58:44] <TurBoss> hurray!
[18:58:58] <lcvette[m]2> whoop whoop!
[18:59:07] <TurBoss> Lcvette: how can I help you? what are thoose parameters
[18:59:22] <lcvette[m]2> I'm celebrating and do t even know what
[18:59:44] <TurBoss> \o/
[18:59:55] <lcvette[m]2> general help
[19:00:12] <lcvette[m]2> I need to understand how that works
[19:00:21] <lcvette[m]2> example
[19:00:42] * hazzy1[m] uploaded an image: image.png (1005KB) < https://matrix.org >
[19:00:49] <TurBoss> paste it on ehterpad
[19:00:59] <lcvette[m]2> if I need to have a box on the screen with a user input
[19:01:23] <TurBoss> oh
[19:01:31] <TurBoss> yes!
[19:01:56] <lcvette[m]2> I need to make a custom name for it
[19:02:10] <TurBoss> hmmm I don't get you
[19:02:21] <TurBoss> code example?
[19:02:21] <lcvette[m]2> #<customname>
[19:02:39] <lcvette[m]2> going from memory
[19:02:54] <lcvette[m]2> on my phone at restarauntwith wife
[19:03:01] <lcvette[m]2> and her girlfriend
[19:03:08] <lcvette[m]2> they are talking
[19:03:09] <lcvette[m]2> lol
[19:03:25] <lcvette[m]2> I'm just chilling with a beer and you guys
[19:03:26] <TurBoss> ok
[19:03:34] <TurBoss> xD
[19:04:20] <lcvette[m]2> but that name would be the link to the box on the screen where the user data was? is that right?
[19:05:19] <lcvette[m]2> or is that only to link to the var file numbered lines where data can be stored
[19:05:30] <TurBoss> we can generate gcode from python that can put any name you want in the #<here>
[19:06:00] <hazzy-lab> I am not up on how one passes parameters to gocde subroutine, but I know it can be done
[19:06:27] <lcvette[m]2> ok
[19:06:42] <hazzy-lab> I have done it, but forgot how, lol
[19:07:00] <TurBoss> i think that could read hal things
[19:07:04] <lcvette[m]2> yeah I can imagine it wouldn't be hard to learn and forget
[19:07:27] <hazzy-lab> But yes, those parameters could be taken from an input on the screen, and then passed as a named var to the gcode
[19:07:39] <TurBoss> once did a subroutine that read the input value of a field
[19:07:54] <lcvette[m]2> ok, I "decoding" what tormach is doing to try and learn via reverse engineering
[19:08:09] <hazzy-lab> Thats the best way :D
[19:09:29] <lcvette[m]2> yeah
[19:09:33] <lcvette[m]2> it helps focus what I need to learn
[19:09:44] <lcvette[m]2> not that learning it all wouldn't be helpful
[19:09:58] <lcvette[m]2> I just would prefer not to have to spend 3 years on it
[19:09:59] <lcvette[m]2> lol
[19:10:32] <lcvette[m]2> probing is going to be reading and writing
[19:10:51] <lcvette[m]2> so, need to figure out both of those
[19:10:53] <hazzy-lab> "O- Call takes up to 30 optional arguments, which are passed to the subroutine as #1, #2 , …, #N."
[19:11:00] <hazzy-lab> Sweet!
[19:11:10] <hazzy-lab> 30 should be enough :D
[19:11:26] <lcvette[m]2> yeah
[19:11:33] <lcvette[m]2> I read that
[19:12:15] <lcvette[m]2> I saw o100 etc on tormach and was reading about them in the manual
[19:12:29] <hazzy-lab> So all we have to do is get python to call a O sub, and pass the parameters from the input boxes
[19:12:47] <lcvette[m]2> right
[19:13:02] <lcvette[m]2> but need to make the names right
[19:13:12] <TurBoss> #<_hal[pin]>
[19:15:58] <lcvette[m]2> what's that
[19:16:19] <TurBoss> that reads a pin from hall in to gcode
[19:16:23] <TurBoss> *hal
[19:16:37] <TurBoss> could be a text string
[19:16:54] <TurBoss> not what you are looking for?
[19:16:57] <TurBoss> I'm confused :D
[19:17:35] <lcvette[m]2> could be
[19:17:38] <lcvette[m]2> one of the things
[19:17:40] <lcvette[m]2> o think there will be a few
[19:18:07] <lcvette[m]2> I think, when I get home I need to make a map of what's happening
[19:18:13] <lcvette[m]2> flow chart
[19:18:22] <TurBoss> ok
[19:18:53] <lcvette[m]2> that would help I think
[19:18:54] <hazzy-lab> That would be helpful
[19:19:04] <hazzy-lab> Do you have a napkin?
[19:19:06] <hazzy-lab> :)
[19:19:26] <hazzy-lab> Most great ideas start with that!
[19:19:31] <lcvette[m]2> hahaha
[19:20:02] <lcvette[m]2> you're enough, but appetizers just landed
[19:20:09] <lcvette[m]2> true*
[19:20:11] <hazzy-lab> hahaha
[19:20:15] <lcvette[m]2> I'm gonna eat
[19:20:17] <hazzy-lab> enjoy!\
[19:20:31] <TurBoss> profit
[19:20:35] <lcvette[m]2> I will hit you guys up when I get in shortly
[19:20:57] <hazzy-lab> sounds good
[19:21:34] <hazzy-lab> you made me hungry haha, I'm going to eat too
[19:39:59] * TurBoss is working with the QtDesigner :D
[19:40:02] <TurBoss> hurray
[20:08:14] <hazzy-lab> hurra!
[20:08:41] <TurBoss> https://github.com
[20:08:43] <TurBoss> lol
[20:09:40] -!- Roguish has joined #hazzy
[20:09:44] <TurBoss> I can't figure how to stream with Qt5
[20:10:01] <hazzy-lab> lol
[20:10:08] <hazzy-lab> hmm
[20:14:26] <hazzy-lab> Did you get the plugins to load in designer?
[20:14:45] <TurBoss> hmm?
[20:14:52] <hazzy-lab> The QtPyVCP plugins
[20:15:05] <TurBoss> what plugins?
[20:15:14] <TurBoss> on the script?¿
[20:15:22] <hazzy-lab> yes
[20:15:46] <hazzy-lab> Like the gremlin plugin etc.
[20:16:46] * hazzy1[m] uploaded an image: plugins.png (82KB) < https://matrix.org >
[20:17:18] <TurBoss> no
[20:17:26] <hazzy1[m]> ok
[20:17:35] <hazzy1[m]> its kinda a pain to get it to work
[20:17:54] <TurBoss> hmmmm
[20:18:17] <hazzy1[m]> yOU HAVE TO BUILT qYpY FROM SOURCE
[20:18:22] <hazzy1[m]> oops xD
[20:18:30] <TurBoss> what?
[20:18:36] <TurBoss> qtpy?
[20:19:15] <hazzy1[m]> You have to build PyQt5 from source to get the QtPyVCP plugins to work
[20:19:31] <TurBoss> ahhhhhhh
[20:19:33] <TurBoss> ok
[20:19:44] <hazzy1[m]> Sorry, I am not typing very well xD
[20:19:55] <TurBoss> you drunk=
[20:19:55] <hazzy1[m]> Too much wine!
[20:19:58] <TurBoss> ?
[20:20:00] <TurBoss> =P
[20:20:14] <TurBoss> no problem
[20:20:15] <TurBoss> heheheheheh
[20:20:37] <TurBoss> the las time tried to build pyqt got the sir error
[20:20:41] <TurBoss> trying again
[20:21:05] <hazzy-lab> It may not be worth the trouble
[20:21:26] <hazzy-lab> I could not get it to build on Ubuntu 18
[20:21:46] <TurBoss> i need to start working on debian
[20:21:58] <hazzy-lab> But I think the problem was with the compiler, not PyQt5
[20:22:13] <TurBoss> could be
[20:27:04] * TurBoss sent a long message: < https://matrix.org >
[20:27:06] <TurBoss> :((
[20:29:20] <hazzy-lab> Did you install SIP?
[20:29:28] <TurBoss> yes!
[20:29:33] <hazzy-lab> hmm
[20:29:43] <hazzy-lab> that is similar to the error I was getting
[20:29:55] <TurBoss> https://gist.github.com
[20:29:56] <TurBoss> following this
[20:30:16] <hazzy-lab> Great!
[20:30:22] <hazzy-lab> also this: https://gitlab.com
[20:30:46] <hazzy-lab> But it did not work :(
[20:31:09] <TurBoss> :()
[20:31:30] <hazzy-lab> Maybe I should try again
[20:31:43] <hazzy-lab> I still have the VM
[20:32:10] <TurBoss> I should dev on a debian VM
[20:32:14] <TurBoss> setting one!
[20:32:39] <hazzy-lab> ok!

[23:22:20] <hazzy-lab> Lcvette[m]: Brenda took your advice on the MDI entry!!!
[23:22:34] <Lcvette[m]> did she?
[23:22:39] <hazzy-lab> yes
[23:22:47] <hazzy-lab> very impressed, lol
[23:22:52] <Lcvette[m]> wow
[23:23:00] <Lcvette[m]> well it made sense
[23:23:09] <hazzy-lab> absolutely
[23:23:14] <Lcvette[m]> never saw a data entry on the top of a screen before
[23:23:31] <Lcvette[m]> where the last entry rolled to the bottom
[23:23:32] <Lcvette[m]> lol
[23:23:50] <hazzy-lab> hahaha, yeah, that was funky
[23:24:54] <hazzy-lab> Would it help if I made a stand alone window that you can experiment with calling o subs from?
[23:25:42] <hazzy-lab> You could select a ngc file, and enter some arguments in text boxes
[23:26:03] <Lcvette[m]> hmmm
[23:26:11] <Lcvette[m]> interesting
[23:26:36] <Lcvette[m]> probably so
[23:26:53] <Lcvette[m]> i was going to propose something similar
[23:26:57] <hazzy-lab> Trying to thing of was you can experiment with subs, without having to learn python
[23:27:07] <hazzy-lab> Ok, great!
[23:27:33] <Lcvette[m]> i was going to propose making one probe routine the way i wanted it to execute and see if you could do a window for me to test with
[23:27:57] <hazzy-lab> That would work too
[23:28:27] <Lcvette[m]> but then i started thinking about it and even one probe routine would end up requiring almost ALL of the probe initial settings
[23:29:18] <hazzy-lab> Hmm, that is a problem
[23:29:22] <Lcvette[m]> but one to start would be the best learning point i think
[23:29:41] <Lcvette[m]> i need to "touch" the environment
[23:29:45] <Lcvette[m]> if that makes sense
[23:29:57] <Lcvette[m]> reading about it isn't helping me much
[23:30:11] <hazzy-lab> Yes, best way to learn it to take something apart, to use a mechanical analogy
[23:30:17] <Lcvette[m]> ive never been a text learner
[23:30:28] <hazzy-lab> me neither
[23:31:44] <Lcvette[m]> design concept i can build something in my head very well but reading text and interpreting is difficult, wish it wasn't but then maybe i couldn't do the otherthings i can do
