Hello,
I have tried reading other threads and have gotten a bit of info and solved a few road blocks but i cant seem to get it working.
To start.
I downloaded the RPI image www.linuxcnc.org/iso/linuxcnc-2.8.1-pi4.zip
I then ran an axis sim to confirm it works and i have a config directory
I then cloned github.com/kcjengr/qtpyvcp into a folder called "qt from source from git"
I then edited setup.py to comment out VTK
I then downloaded and installed github.com/scottalford75/LinuxCNC-on-RPi...1-qt5py2-1_armhf.deb
Then i modified my .bash.hrc file withthen ranRestarted system
then ran
Then from inside the source directory for Qt i ran "pip install --editable ."
I then copied the configs from the source into linux cnc config.
I can run the QtPyVCP test no problem.
But if i select any other option i get the error "No module named VTK"
I am using this guide as my source for my steps
scottalford75.github.io/LinuxCNC-on-RPi/...20for%20QtPyVCP.html
I feel i may have missed something obvious but i cant find where.
Edit
If i runI get
If i runI get no errors
Edit 2
I found that i somehow had pypy2.7 running so i removed it and restarted my system
not sure removing that solved it...
Seems when i run linux cnc from cmd line is the difference.
Now i can get the VTK test to run.
But the open GL test fails with the following
Still stuck

I don't think the OpenGL back plot will work on the Pi. Hence the reason for the VTK version.

So is it possible to use the included configs?
I select the Brender example and i get the same crash as the open gl test.
Also if u run linux cnc from the desktop shortcut i get the error VTK not found but if i run it from terminal its fine.

So i installed probe basic. (note the QtPyVCP doc said it is preinstalled but it was not or i misunderstood
Project URL: Included with QtPyVCP
)
It seems to run great and looks awesome, BUT the ATC screen is blank and i am getting some messages in terminal.
Also still cant seem to figure out why If i run linux cnc via desktop shortcut i get VTK not found error but if i run it via console it works fine.

I found out why i could only get linux cnc to work via terminal and not any shortcuts or launchers.
I had to modify ".profile" the same way i did ".bashrc"
Still stuck on the ATC screen being blank as in my above comment.
