Streaming file is not working about bcnc

[vlachoudis]

Thank you for the bug report. When clicking on RUN it disables all commands to avoid any error from the user. Apparently in MAC it fails to disable the menu options. Most probably with the different way the mac is using the menu compared to linux/windows. I don't have a MAC to test, so could you do a small change in the program to check.
in the bCNC.py find the function configWidgets (line; 1419)
and change the function from:
def configWidgets(self, var, value):
for w in self.widgets:
if isinstance(w,tuple):
w[0].entryconfig(w[1], state=value)
elif isinstance(w,tkExtra.Combobox):
w.configure(state=value)
else:
w[var] = value
to:
def configWidgets(self, var, value):
for w in self.widgets:
#if isinstance(w,tuple):
# w[0].entryconfig(w[1], state=value)
if isinstance(w,tkExtra.Combobox):
w.configure(state=value)
else:
w[var] = value

Comment the first branch of the if statment, and replace the elif to if
be careful on the indentation and tabs
V.

Hi,

I just tested the change but behavior is the same but terminal message changed:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1470, in call

self.configWidgets("state",DISABLED)
File "./bCNC.py", line 1426, in configWidgets
w[var] = value
TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment

UPDATE:
When replaceing the function body in disableWidgets with pass, I get further but it fails streaming with:
Exception in thread Thread-3:

Could you please try the latest version. I've added a try: catch: around the menuentry

I just tested the new version. The error did not occur anymore, however, streaming still throws this when clicking on start:
Sascha-Air:bCNC-master-2 sascha$ ./bCNC
Exception in thread Thread-2:

I guess it's related to the gcode I throw at it made by makercam.

The serial.write is failing in your case. It might be that you are sending unicode characters. I've added an extra check to convert to str. Could you try to see if it works

Wow, amazing work :) Really enjoyed machining with your GUI 👍

I had to change the generated code in order to make it work now from (remove G40):
(Generated by PartKam Version 0.05)

G21 G90 G40

(follow path 1)
G0 Z10
T0 M6

Thanks again! Also for your great support :)

Thank you for helping me to debug in Mac.
