Custom GUI and PyVCP

pyVCP can only display on the right or as stand alone panels.
tkinker doesn't support the XID protocol fully for embedding IFAIK.

Without some code changes in AXIS, you must use gladeVCP.

I have made a gladevcp panel for huanyang vfd hal component and works very nice.
Thanks John Thornton for his nice gladevcp tutorial.

This plugin appears broken in linuxcnc 2.6.8

linuxcnc 2.6.8

#sudo apt-get install glade

#glade


load "huanyang.glade" as LibGlade, then saveas LibGlade (not GDKBuilder), write over same file. Appears to work now.

interesting what linux distribution are you using?

I have tested gladevcp panel to linuxcnc 2.7 not 2.6

No I meant what distribution of linux?

Wheezy or Ubuntu?

either way you should be using glade-gtk2 version of the GLADE editor.
