Started compiling vtk at 8:30 pm. See how we go in 16 gb...

Following Tchmiimy's approach on this page:
github.com/pyvista/pyvista-support/issues/432

See you in the morning

Success! I hope...
After 5 hours, there was still about 2000 files remaining to be built with ninja. (of just under 10000)

Code:

apt install -y build-essential mesa-common-dev mesa-utils freeglut3-dev ninja-build git cmake    
git clone --recursive https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk.git
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GNinja -DVTK_WHEEL_BUILD=ON -DVTK_WRAP_PYTHON=ON ../vtk/
ninja
python setup.py bdist_wheel

Then checking with python

Code:

cnc@bcm2711:~/devel/build$ python3
>>> import vtk
>>> print(vtk.vtkVersion.GetVTKSourceVersion())
vtk version 9.1.0
>>> exit()

Now I just have to find where the wheel file is living

The wheel is in
build/dist
on my pi it is called

Code:

vtk-9.1.20220518.dev0-cp310-cp310-linux_aarch64.whl

So tonight I'll be onto installing qtpyvcp

To install qtvcp you need these commands:

Code:

sudo apt-get install python3-gst-1.0
cd /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qtvcp/designer
sed 's/x86_64/aarch64/g' ./install_script > /tmp/install_64_script
sudo cp /tmp/install_64_script .
sudo chmod a+x ./install_64_script
./install_64_script

and than
select 3 = Yes, for a package installation

elovalvo's method to install qtvcp did not work for me, At least the install script ran perfectly instead of erroring. I was getting segmentation faults with qtplasmac, and other sample screens did not load.

but adding

Code:

processor.max_cstate=1

to cmdline.txt made a substantial improvement on latency

10 glx gears vs 6 previously. I'll let it run overnight again.
I just have to try qtpyvcp but that will be another night.

I did grab a 64 bit SD card today so its time to try rebuilding the image tomorrow.
We had incessant internet outages today so could not get any work done, let alone playing with this..

processor.max_cstate=1

Excellent, will add to the boot cmd too!

I now have LXQT v1.1 installed as default. Will commit that soon.

I have forked forked FalconView with a view to make it look inkeeping with an modern LXQT based ui.

Busy getting the robot working on EtherCAT....

Well, overnight the latency is a bit worse but the shape is much narrower

hmm, clicking on a png image (screenshot) would not open it.

Code:

sudo apt install feh

fixed that

Just experiment with cstates before adding to your image. I just realised the horizontal scale was different between my overnight runs so it might be worse..

THis command installs the linuxcnc dependencies for those who want to update the debian package by building from source

Code:

There are some red dots on that graph so might have excursions that are out of visible area, use this

Code:

latency-histogram --nobase --sbinsize 1000 --show
