MonoKrom - QtPyVCP GUI for PlasmaC and Mill

Now if we could use python to use the opencv edge and corner finding functions, and touch off right on the home corner and align the sheet, then there would be reasons not to have a blank screen....

That's what @phillc54 did on his thread

forum.linuxcnc.org/plasmac/40057-camera-for-touchoff

moreover, cheap cctv POE cameras can be made to work.

Rod, we already have a camera opencv widget with edge detection in QtPyVCP!

No thats what Phill didn't do. Currently opencv is used to apply come crosshairs and align the sheet when you press on some buttons. Honestly, linuxcnc has been able to do that for years... pre opencv. When you read what opencv is capable of, it should be able to automate the whole process and optionally map the sheet. I don't think its hard, just no one's thought of it.

A sample splash is attached.
Changes can be made if some users want.
Users should have the option (somewhere as config file, but not in GUI itself) to change Name and Logo

Well he could have Rod, but like you he is too busy.
