Hello
i have been using qt dragon HD and like it.
i would like to add some buttons to my screen and was looking for the directions or a resourct to help me.
i have three things i want to add.
i have a work light
a spindle light
and a relay that switches between my prob in put and my tool setter. both the tool setter and probe are normaly closed. seamed like the best way to do it.
i could put them on a tab or in utilitys. but still a littel unclear on how to do that.
thanks for the help.

I wanted to make my own user tab for them. But I’m unclear how to do that, and I’m unsure whether you can use a user tab well while the machine is running in auto. I haven’t tried yet.
I was going to add them to the user buttons. But I’ve used up most of them at this point.
Down the road, I also want to learn some other things. I’m adding pneumatics to my CNC to run some hold-downs, as well as an air blast.
I had the idea to add a pressure gauge to the system so I could set the machine to pause if there was a loss in air pressure, assuming that would cause me to lose a hold-down.

Did you see this:
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gui/qtvcp.h..._sheet_custom_screen
Panels are mostly the same process.

It's pretty skimpy on detail. Ask questions here and I'll try to help and maybe add docs for next time.

cmorley, that screen looks very good! Would you share this with me? How can i install it, I am running that normal QTDragon for a while and was missing some of the buttons integrated here.
Thanks in advance!

The screen shown is a modded qtdragon_hd so requires a larger monitor.
I can't find the original topic on the forum here, but I do have a copy of the .ui file
You would put this file in YOUR_CONFIG_FOLDER/qtvcp/screens/qtdragon_hd/qtdragon_hd.ui

Tried to install this modified screenset but got a lot of errors. If I understand correctly here I need a modified handler.py file too?
