Moving from Axis to QtDragon?

Hello all. Completely new and ignorant to this topic, and after more than a little searching I have not found any answers.

I currently have a Remora/NVEM configuration working under the Axis interface and would like to move that into QtDragon. However, that is not a simple cut and paste operation, and I can not find any guidance on how to even begin to attempt it. Just looking at the differences between the Axis and QtDragon directories has me confused. They are not the same.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated as I am at a loss to find a starting point. I can certainly provide my .hal and .ini files if needed.
 

Just one approach is to find a setup you like among the linuxcnc example and take a copy of that.
Copy your ini and hal file over those files.
Change the DISPLAY line in the ini file toand there is a good chance it starts up. A starting point.
 

I regret to inform you, but maybe a better closing statement would be - "and there is almost no chance it starts up. A starting point"

Attached is the LinuxCNC Errors report that comes from trying to run the config with "DISPLAY = qtvcp qtdragon". The forum will not let me put the error in the code quotes as it thinks it's spam being posted. Any suggestions as to what needs to be done to start to fix the mess?

That was expected and just warnings. You can add what it complains about to the ini file later.
But it errors on a missing "postgui_call_list.hal" file
Didn't you copy that one over? All used hal files from the old config need to come over.

"Didn't you copy that one over?"

No, as a matter of fact I didn't as up until you mentioned it just now, I did not know that was what I needed to do. But now that I have done it, it looks like it is actually working. At least the gui is now opening and I'm getting signals like endstop and estop triggers being reported as well as mist and flood working.

Thank you for the help. Like I said, I am brand new to LinuxCNC and have something just less of a clue what I'm actually doing. I am considering my self lucky good folks like you have been able to help me make it up as I go along.

Thank you
