bhowiebkr/linuxcnc-config-editor

A Python Qt based tool for editing LinuxCNC config files (INI) with a GUI and built in variable documentation.

LinuxCNC Config Editor

This is a GUI editor of configuration files (INI) for LinuxCNC. It’s not designed for generating your CNC machine’s configuration like Stepconf or PNCconf but rather a tool for helping you edit the configuration file after the fact.

Installation

This tool currently only requires PyQt5 to run. For future changes install dependencies by the following:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Simply run the Python script with the following command:

python3 LinuxCNC_Config_Editor.py

In the file LinuxCNC_Config_Editor.py there is a variaable DEBUG make sure it's set to false if you don't want it defaulting to the example file. I'll fix this with some automation at a later date.
