So for the past week I have been trying to just get the cam_align as a tab to work in Axis.
I copied the files cam_align.ui and cam_align_handler.py from the usr / share / qtvcp/ panel folder.
and added them to my machine's profile folder. In my ini file I added under the display section
EMBEDED_TAB_NAME = cam_align
EMBEDED_TAB_ COMMAND = halcmd loaduser -Wn qtvcp_embed qtvcp -d -c qtvcp-embed -x {XID} cam_align.ui
I also made sure that the .ui and .py files were made executable.
and although I have a tab I don't even have a picture.
I am pretty sure I will need a . hal file for the buttons
but I am lost as to the camera what am I missing?

Please try the sim/axis/qtvcp/qtvcp_tab.ini to confirm all is well.

Also run from a terminal and post the output.

You don't need to add the ui or py files to your config folder unless you want to modify them.

The commands in the ini file should start with EMBED rather than EMBEDED.

Also there are parenthesis missing from the print statement in line 47 of the handler.

First off Thank you to phillc54,  cmorley, and robertspark. Second I apparently made multiple typing mistakes  .
first I typed embeded on my first post not in my . ini file. That didn't matter in reality. I did unfortunately type
loaduser in my ini file instead of loadusr. Next I put a - in one of my qtvcp_embed commands. That's the second
time that one has gotten me.
That said I now have a live picture in a Linuxcnc Tab

how do I edit the cam_view widget. I can do the
-o size=400,400 -o rotincr=0. -o camnumber=0 cam_align
in 2.9 but in 2.8 all I get are errors saying -o is not an option.

Are you using an installed version? If so the problem is your changes could be overwritten when you update (but you still can do it)
If you are planning on doing more customization, you might want to switch to a RIP version of linuxcnc.

In the case of the 'o' option, it also requires changes to Qtvcp.py to accommodate it.
