💖 PANELUI(1) 💖

ok so bestie, lemme put you onto panelui — it's the manual page for the buttons-to-LinuxCNC pipeline, and honestly? it ate. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

panelui — it's the lil interface that wires your buttons up to LinuxCNC or HAL. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

panelui

yeah that's it. no flags, no args, she just runs. main character energy fr. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, bestie 🍓

panelui is a non-realtime component. its whole job is to be the middleman between your physical buttons and LinuxCNC or HAL. lowkey iconic.

what it does, step by step:

  • it decodes MESA 7I73 style key-scan codes and then calls the appropriate routine. no cap. 🔥
  • it gets its input from a realtime component called sampler.
  • and sampler? sampler gets its input from either the MESA 7i73 or the sim_matrix_kb component. it's giving relay race honestly. 🏃‍♀️

and here's the part where she gets ✨customizable✨ — panelui is configured using an INI style text file, and that file is where you define:

  • button types
  • HAL pin types
  • and/or commands

so like. you're the main character of your own config. 💜

Full documentation can be found in the HTML or PDF docs, and the link is:

go read it, it's worth it i promise. 🫶
