Couple questions about QTPYVCP

Can I use this on my machine running wheesy with 2.8 master? The interface.

I'm kind of lost on how to do that. Do I need to set the path?

The display columns in the ToolTable widget are now fully customizable independent of the columns set in the ToolTable plugin. I will make a v0.1.16 release with the enhancements.

To set the columns change the displayColumns property:


And you can even repeat columns

A couple people have tried it without success due to problems satisfying dependencies. I have not tried it, it may be that it is an easy solution. Eventually QtPyVCP will be able to use PySide2 instead of PyQt5, and at that point all the dependencies will be available from pip and you will then be able to run it on wheezy, but at the moment that is low priority. Sorry.

cool, the plugin worked good. i just wanted to move the xy to the right. but this will make it look cleaner

i found the package on git hub and gdebi says its missing that. im going to plug the hardrive in and check the jitter out.

Thanks!

I uploaded it to git

github.com/leonpk82/cnc_touch.git

i tried it on the machine. it works but it warned me of latency as soon as i started. i joged to full speed and it emergency stopped it self. i have 2 inch per sec in my ini . ill have to play with some settings to use stretch on it

Thank you for putting your VCP on GitHub! When I get a chance I will fix a few things to make it so it can be easily installed with pip and open a PR. Very nice work!

i noticed there was an update so i updated. should i delete and redo the tool table widget?
it accepts negative offsets now, but it doesn't seem to write to the tool table file. when i click to update (signal slot) it switches back to what was there.

ETA, i put a signal to save the table "activated "signal and if you hit enter twice it saves.

ETA, that wsnt good, i think it wiped out my tool table and the mdi buttons dont work

i restarted and it wont go into linux cnc, i get this error

im not sure if you ca see it.
it says cant find display,

Just installed your VCP, looking forward to playing with it! I'll try to duplicate and fix the tooltable problem.

The "Can't execute DISPLAY program" error usually means that the program is not on your PATH. QtPyVCP is installed to $HOME/.local/bin, which due to a bug in Debian 9 is not on the PATH by default. To get around this QtPyVCP places a .xsessionrc file in the $HOME dir. Check if that file is present, and if not you can copy if from the qtpyvcp/scripts folder or create it and add the contents:

The file is hidden, so you will need to show hidden files in your file manager to see it (usually ctrl+h)

You will need to log out and log back in or restart for the changes to take effect.

Uninstalling and reinstalling QtPyVCP should also fix the problem:

Ok I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

I exported the path like on the page and the qt editor worked and opened it fine

But my mdi buttons on the side stopped working so I tried the restart.

I updated it a bunch of times after the initial upload
. thanks

ETA, I just did a restart after the script move and it's back. I would never fall asleep without trying it LOL
