Yes, from the existing sim folder !
Strange thing, i did manage to run my big machine with it after about 5 minutes of messing with hal and ini files, i could not get this (by this i mean the other HP PC to the left of me) to work for over an hour ! I have to fix that .....

Oh you mean the UI file !
I edit it somewhere else, save, copy to where it resides, double click on the desktop, all with one swoop of the hand as i used 2 monitors to edit.

I haven't tried that yet but I do believe that if you do it that way then it won't get overwritten by updates and QtVCP will load the one from the config folder rather than the system one. If that is the case then it does make for easier customisation.

Still very early days yet but I have a HMI enclosure for Plasmac as of 5:30 pm today!



The circuit board for my 7i73/Odroid/Estop/Wireless pendant shield arrived today but I'm still waiting for some components to arrive.

Anyway, I thought I'd post here becasue a brand new GUI deserves a brand new enclosure to live in!

Spray with vinegar, leave for a day or two then add a layer or two of clear coating !
Yeah, and add a CyberPunk logo... The GUI colour is already there.

Hi
First of all thanks for the interest in the comment, understand no everybody like and is ok, in other hand I insist that the work phill has done is a great effort, and please don't take me wrong mi intention is that if something is helpful for me maybe it can be helpful for other people.
as you can see in the attached pictures, changing the lay out in QT is not rocket science (not like the great work Phill is doing), so I changed the layout a little bit to fit my ideas and see how it looks, the screen is working nice in the simulator
