NativeCam on LinuxCNC 2.9.3

Удалось ли кому-нибудь установить NativeCam на LinuxCNC 2.9.3? Две недели бьюсь с проблемой Python 2.7, а теперь ругается на GTK... Сил нет.

I am running LinuxCNC 2.10.x (developer version) on Raspberry Pi 400.
NativeCAM forked by BogdanTheGeek forum.linuxcnc.org/nativecam/48857-fernv...ernv?start=10#292321 works, but only standalone, not in tab. I am not able to run embedded
I think it should run in LinuxCNC 2.9.3 too.

Edit: now, with some raw workaround it appears in a LinuxCNC tab. But it is not fully working.
Edit2: corrected some bugs  in pref_edit.py, now it works better. I cannot update the file on GitHub.

I poked a bit around with linux2.9.3 and native cam. It is running, but not stable, sometimes the ncam window dissapers randomly.
Feel free to correct this list.
0. Axis 2.9.3 sim_mm running native on PC
1. download from github.com/BogdanTheGeek/NativeCAM
2. extract
3. copy to /home/cnc/linuxcnc/ncam/
4. open console in /home/cnc/linuxcnc/ncam/
5. sudo bash ncam_debsetup.txt *1
6. python3 ncam.py *2
7. sudo apt install python3-lxml
8. python3 ncam.py --> window:Create Standalone Directory /home/cnc/nativecam --> yes --> window:LinuxCNC needs to restart now --> window:NativeCam for LinuxCNC
9. python3 ncam.py --ini=/home/cnc/linuxcnc/configs/sim.axis/axis_mm.ini --catalog=mill *3
10. Start LinuxCNC --> dont start --> error (3)
11. Comment out # GLADEVCP = -U --catalog=mill /home/cnc/linuxcnc/ncam/ncam.ui in  axis_mm.ini
12. Start LinuxCNC
13.    start console in /home/cnc/linuxcnc/ncam/ python3 ncam.py -> no tool library in the tool menue    
14. start again console in /home/cnc/linuxcnc/ncam/ python3 ncam.py --ini=/home/cnc/linuxcnc/configs/sim.axis/axis_mm.ini --> tool library is now avalible in tool menu-

I am a beginner in Python, but I have fixed some problem (I think so) in the Bogdan's version, and I see that editing a parameter and closing the "calculator" make ncam crash cause a -11 error (segmentation fault).
I think there is something wrong related to gtk on closing dialogs.
The crash happens (on my computer) when the custom do_start_editing() function returns to the caller (I think that's gtk).
I have my modified version, if someone want to give it a try...

If you post your modified file I will give it a try.

That's the file. Don't trust too much in it.
Please backup the original one and place the new one (uncompressed) in its place.

Giovanni

Edit: I see right now that the result of calculations are wrong.
They give a huge number maybe because the decimal point "." or "," in the locale.
Please insert numbers directly without any calculation.

Thanks Giovanni
I'll try it next time, put it in with a long fork and a mask on
Juergen

I forgot you may need the pref_edit file too.

Giovanni

Here is a more stable version (in my opinion).
But the calculation problem is still there (on my computer).

Hello all,
It's good to see you working on NativeCAM, I use it all the time and have got to the point where I need to update to lcnc 2.9.x and the lack of ncam is the main problem.

I followed juergen-home's instructions with a couple of changes:

step 3. copied to /home/freemoore/linuxcnc/ncam/
step 4. open console in /home/freemoore/linuxcnc/ncam/NativeCAM-master
step 5. sudo bash ncam_debsetup.txt
python3 ncam.py --ini=/home/freemoore/linuxcnc/configs/sim.axis.vismach.5axis.table-rotary-tilting/xyzbc-trt.ini --catalog=mill

After this I have run each further step down to 14 and reproduced the errors and results in Juergen's post, but without getting tool library to appear in ncam.

Next I copied Giovanni's ncam.py from above in place of the one in Bogdan's download.

I still don't have a tool library, but this is outputting a program to the simulated 5-axis machine config of lcnc that I've set it up with here. And the program is running OK.

Not sure I know what would be useful to you but I'm happy to test new versions of your code here!

great to see the familiar ncam on a 2.9 installation, it gives me hope

cheers, Andy
