tgFX Axis Parameter entry

[cmcgrath5035]

Build 3009 (Linux)
When in the Axis/Motor Tab, Axis Configuration area- trying to change a parameter, for example Travel maximum, fails silently if "270" then Apply is entered, but works if "270.0" then Apply.
I have played with it a bit, this seems to be what is going on.

yep I've seen that too.. same with entering a number like .100 where 0.100 works
I seem to remember thought that hitting the tab key after entering your 270 without the trailing 0 works

cmc I will check this out. I have not really tested linux at all.

I don't believe it is a linux issue - although I seldom start 3009
Windows any more, my gut feeling is that Java is Java and the results
are the same on Windows and Linux.

I'll try this parameter entry item as well on both next time machine is
up, if you can reproduce the issue on Windows.

Here I am again, tgFX build 3009 (Linux) and TinyG 412.01

At the moment, I cannot reproduce my issue where entering (for example) xtm of 200 then apply would not work.
Here are some line from the tgFX console:
$xtm
[+]User has entered text mode. To exit type "{" and hit enter.

[xxtm] x travel maximum 150.000 mm

I had just successfully entered 150 , not 150.0, into the xtm dialog box and selected Apply

Note 2 things above

1. the [xxtm] response. The 'xx' seemed to appear with 412.01. I left a note on the tinyG github.
2. I seem to see "[+]User has entered text mode. To exit type "{" and hit enter." a lot more recently. I presume tgFX talks json to tinyG?

Perhaps a contributor to tinyG seeming unresponsive at times to commands entered to the tgFX command line is that tinyG is expecting json but getting text?
Just guessing.
