One gotcha that recently occurred here, was that installing NativeCAM kills CamPY, and the update it put in a day or so back, did it again, requiring the CamPY_setup, basically its installer, has to be done after each NativeCAM update.

I just wanted you to be aware there seems to be an unwanted interaction between CamPY, and NativeCAM.
I wasn't smart enough to see if that kills something for NativeCAM. Perhaps that is why I am not seeing a preview?, an LCNC backplot type view of its output? I have made no attempt to make it an LCNC "tab" utility because its window it bigger, and shrinking it to fit a backplot sized view would render it illegible to these old eyes.

One can call me a rank beginner at NativeCAM but it sure looks like it will be helpful, thank you.

CamPY has its own set of problems, seemingly a fragile application, but most of gladeVCP seems to share that attribute here on a wheezy machine. Its running a G0704 with 4 axises.

I will probably see if I can install NativeCAM of my 11x36 Sheldon, but the floor is somewhat bloodstained as its rather bleeding edge, the Sheldon is being run by an r-pi3b running Jessie on the r-pi.. My first experience with spi interfaces, but it is now working very well. Thats an armhf based card, but may be replaced by a rock64, which is arm64, and which is many times faster than the pi.
If I can get a working spi setup going on it

Thank you.

Hi Gene,
I do not know about CamPY and how it is installed, I will find information and see if I can help.

... I am not seeing a preview?

Are you talking a preview for NativeCAM ? If so you must toggle 'Block Delete'

I have made no attempt to make it an LCNC "tab" utility because its window it bigger

Many users like to have it in a new tab but personnaly, I prefer seeing changes immediately and installed it in axis and gmoccapy in the front page (if I can say)
It is easy to install in a tab, for info $ ncam -h
However, if you already have extra tabs, they might be disabled. I will correct this in the next release.

Sounds like a winner from here. CamPY has, at least here, been not exactly stable, for sure not liking an axis pushed up to a full screen on a 1080p monitor. When it was early camview, running in python, it was slower but solid as a rock. But that died sometime before wheezy got ibstalled on everything running at the time.

Any help you can render will be appreciated. Even if its (CamPY) not your baby to diaper.

Block delete? No such function can be found in the menu's here. Now I am puzzled.

I forgot to that was running standalone. My bad. Not enough coffee yet.
