Error in python cutting final sled

Troubleshooting
1

We got an error in groundcontrol that aborted the creation of the initial sled.

It did the first 2 recessed holes then aborted with the following error.

I am running GroundControl-Windows.Portable.v1.17
and I am cutting Sled.nc downloaded from the Maslow page.

It was the oddest thing it was working fine then just dropped out of groundcontrol.

That is odd… the ‘UIElements\modernMenu.py’ code handles a pop-up which gets called up when the user clicks and holds on the screen (for two seconds?). Did something click the mouse or touch the touchscreen during the cut?

I think you got it. It was on a touch screen and i touched the screen to keep it from going dark. I will try it again tonight. Thank you so much!

I agree with @blurfl about the cause, but I’m unclear why that would cause a crash. Will you press and hold somewhere on the screen and see if you get a contextual menu like this:

Maybe do it when you aren’t cutting anything wink in case something goes wrong :grin:

We switched to a dedicated pc without a touch screen so I will not be able to reproduce the error. There is really no reason we needed a touch screen. The good news is we have been able to cut the final sled and are moving on.

All I did was touch the screen to keep it from sleeping. There was no menu that showed up. It just crashed to the command prompt and the cnc stopped moving.
