OpenCV with Linuxcnc 2.8.0 ?

 Has anyone used OpenCV with Linuxcnc 2.8.0 ? If so what version of OpenCV ? Did you use Python or C++?
 

I used OpenCV with Python on LCNC 2.7. Newer versions of each should work. I'm getting up to speed on C++ and will be working on this later this year.

Take a look at these videos and example application for how to use the Python interface to LCNC

qtvcp uses opencv for webcam alignment in 2.8+

 Thanks Bari for the recommended video's I will definitely check those out. Part of my pick and place project includes using
cameras for alignment both an up-look ( for part alignment ) and a down-look ( for feeder and board alignments ).
I am not a programmer or coder by nature so I am constantly in a steep learning cure with this type of stuff. Any help / recommendations
are always appreciated.
 Thank you cmorley for the recommended route to check out . I am wanting to have some sort of live view window/tab to look at while
the machine is doing it's thing and that will most likely be the route I take.

I'm currently using openCV with Python3 in LCNC 2.9 and QTPYVCP.

Does anyone know the latest Opencv release that still used python 2?

I would make the switch to LinuxCNC 2.9 and Py3 now, rather than have to do it later.
 

will LCNC 2.9 install ok on Mint 19.3? Or am I basically backed into the corner of having to switch back to Debian?

oh well so long beaglebrains special.
