>> With the spindle, the current spindle speed does not work with the input value. I selected the Spindle speed there, and then it worked.

You must have an encoder module (CSMIO-ENC) to use the current spindle speed.

If you do not have the CSMIO-ENC module, select as below:

 

> The color of the ProgressBar is light blue. Can I change the color anywhere?

>>> I changed the colors of the group ctrlButtons in dark mode for my screen in the style.css but found nothing for the progress bar

 

You have several options to change the color of the chunk progress bar (I also included a dark theme):

1. In the css file for all QProgressBar widgets:

QProgressBar::chunk {
background: QLinearGradient( x1: 0, y1: 0,
                             x2: 1, y2: 0,
                            stop: 0 #00ff00,
                            stop: 1 #ff000f );
}

QProgressBar::chunk[darkTheme="true"]{
background: yellow;
}

b. In the css file for individual ProgressBar_1 and ProgressBar_2 widgets

 

[id="ProgressBar_1"]::chunk {

background: QLinearGradient( x1: 0, y1: 0,

                             x2: 1, y2: 0,

                            stop: 0 #00ff00,

                            stop: 1 #ff000f );

}

 

[id="ProgressBar_1"]::chunk[darkTheme="true"] {

background: QLinearGradient( x1: 0, y1: 0,

                             x2: 1, y2: 0,

                            stop: 0 #ffffff,

                            stop: 1 #0000ff );

}

 

[id="ProgressBar_2"]::chunk {

background: yellow;

}

 

[id="ProgressBar_2"]::chunk[darkTheme="true"] {

background: blue;

}

c) In the GUI editor, in the "css" form for individual ProgressBar_1 and ProgressBar_2 widgets

ProgressBar_1

#id::chunk {

background: QLinearGradient( x1: 0, y1: 0,

x2: 1, y2: 0,

stop: 0 #00ff00,

stop: 1 #ff000f );

}

 

#id::chunk[darkTheme="true"] {

background: QLinearGradient( x1: 0, y1: 0,

x2: 1, y2: 0,

stop: 0 #ffffff,

stop: 1 #0000ff );

 

 

            ProgressBar_2

 

#id::chunk {

background: yellow;

}

 

#id::chunk[darkTheme="true"] {

background: blue;

>> How to make the LED flash while executing the script?

Two functions have been prepared for LEDs:

        a.

gui.btnPause.setLedState( True ) – turns on the LED

gui.btnPause.setLedState( False ) – turns off the LED

 

b.

gui.btnPause.setLedInterval( 1000 ) – causes the LED to flash with an interval of 1 second

gui.btnPause.setLedInterval( 0 ) – makes the LED light up continuously

 

btnPause is the id of the pause button diode (this is just an example)

 

>> What do I need to select in Input: LED Interval? There's not much choice there.

Yes, I know.
Soon we will expand the list with other parameters.
