NativeCam raspberry Pi 4

I think NativeCAM works with Lucid since there have been many install on this system. I think the problem is more with your setup

That's the impression I have too. I've simply used the Ubuntu LiveCD as the install, which comes with the standard Python 2.6.5 pre-installed. I'm not much of a Linux expert, more of an end-user, but I can sort out a few solutions to minor problems with some research on the internet. I guess I've yet to find the 'correct' method for upgrading Python to a newer version.

Hi Fern,

Great job! Is it also possible to integrate NativeCAM into a "custom" gscreen like NgcGui?

Kind regards

No, it only works with axis, gmoccapy and gscreen

It has nothing in common with ngcgui

Hi Fern,
Sorry, that question was a bit unclear. I want to embed NativeCAM in to a custom g-screen tab. I am assuming that the answer is still no, since I get this error... this is the only one though. :S




As you can see, there is also a tab for Ngcgui. It doesn't work either at this point.

Second, I installed NativeCam via the instructions on the first page and through the synaptic pkg manager, now I need to run sudo linuxcnc to open anything without errors but I am unsure of which file permissions I need to change.
Any idea?

Kind regards,
Dan

Hi,

What is the display value in your ini file ? As you see, it can only be 'axis', 'gmoccapy' or 'gscreen'.

Have you tried to setup a second time ? It must not be done before removing any 'NativeCAM required item' lines from your ini file.
I personnaly had success with gscreen but you have made a lot of modifications to it.

If you have issues since you installed ncam, uninstall it and make sure lcnc works fine, then post your ini file here so I can have a look at it.
