QtPyVCP Mill Touch V6

Theres also the possibility that OpenGL 3.2 is not supported by your Graphic hardware
(too old) I ran into this on a HP DC7800, about the same vintage as your Dell Optiplex 755...

The fix is a newer computer or adding a video card.

Thanks for all the replies and help. I'll have to order a Graphics card or look at a new PC. The Dell optilex was probably ok for running mesa cards on axis but if want to use the newer GUI's then a new pc is on the cards.


Sorry to clog up this thread, I'll post a new one once I have got the new card or PC. Thanks again.

Software openGL might be worth a try?

Hi!

Many thanks for the excellent piece of software!
I had run

Where should I create my ini file? Inside "~/linuxcnc/configs/mill_touch_v6" ?
Is it enough to change in Axis mill ini sample file (which could be taken as a template) "DISPLAY = qtpyvcp VCP = mill_touch_v6", in order to run mill touch v6 as demo?

Yes you need to create a normal LinuxCNC configuration file and set the display and vcp options in the ini.

Hello! Tell me in detail how to add the run from line function to this interface? Thank you for your work.

Sorry for the concern, the question is closed. I just added an action button and registered the run-from-line action. Everything works.

The action program.run has an option for the line number. The first example is a hard coded line number so not too useful, the second line gets the number from a qLineEdit. Very soon we will have a context menu in the gcode editor so you can right click on a line and select run from line. We actually have that working on a branch right now just waiting for it to be merged into master.

I did as in the screenshot. I copied the button from the probe_basic interface and pasted it into mine.
