QTdragon and camera

Jim ... Are you sure they will work in 2.8.1? I kinda doubt it


If all you want is basic Cam window (zoom cross hair circle) add this file in your configuration folder

I guess I forgot to mention you would have to install 2.9 as well.

or uncompress this file in your config folder (might be easier)

Thanks to both of you Jim and Chris,

I was going to ask if I could update my QTDragon without installing 2.9.

I will try your files later, Chris.

Is there an established process to update the QTdragon in an existing installation?

If not, could we define one here? This may be interesting for others, too.

Chris, where could I get or how could I generate the files you provided? Could they be downloaded from github?


Best regards,

2.8.1 is a released branch considered frozen to new features - so as not to risk breaking peoples running machines.

But QtVCP was built to allow for user customization. This is how I could give you a version that has a camera added.
QtVCP looks to see if you have recognized files in your config folder and will use them instead of the standard ones.
I does mean that if there are change in say 2.8.2 to the files you are using customized versions for, they will not be used.

The process for producing custom versions is briefly discussed here:
linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/gui/qtvcp.htm..._sheet_custom_screen

It takes a bit to learn how to use designer's idiosyncrasies.

This just turned a light on for me. Thank You.
