Pathpilot RPI

The problem may actually be the open gl / mesa support.
Rpi4 dose not have full open gl support.

Aaroncnc was not refering to Mesa boards, he was refering to this:
www.mesa3d.org/

That's correct sorry for the confusion.
I have had some troubles getting some control panels to run.
Some won't run at all other have non working screen elements.
It depends on what elements they used and how they are programmed.
I have thought about ordering a copy of pp to see if I could get it to run but have not had the time.
I got fed up enough the go deep into the axis gui and chage it to a dark theme and added more options widgets.

Nothing to be sorry about, i just got the impression he took it as MesaNet .
Thank you for helping.
Now, what is that talk of dark Axis GUI????
That i want!

Here is the thread I made about it for those interested in a dark theme and advanced color options for pyvcp widgets

I am more worried about the PathPilot portion and if any of it is compiled for x86 and would not run on the RPI.
If not x86 specific you should be able to find and move the PathPilot files to the new machine.

There is bin dir most of which are scripts and LinuxCNC binaries but there are some Tormach binaries that I've not seen the souces for. 

Also needs "redis", a database manager, from a net search it appears to run on RPI.

Before investing in hardware to talk to your machine you might try to get a simulator running. 

Thank you again.

I have an RPI4 with 2.8.1 installed on it. I have the thumb drive ordered. So forward and onward.
