qtvcp issues

Chris, I have compiled the libpyqt5.so and designer is trying to load the custom widgets, but failing with:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5.QtGui'

Qtgui.so is present for Python2.7 but not Python3.7, so I think for some reason designer is trying to use Python3. Any idea how to force to use Python2 when both exist in the system?

Thanks

Scott

A Arch Linux build for the RPi and the work to build the dependencies for a Linuxcnc build on Arch Linux and qt5vcp is working 100%. Great! BTW Arch Linux seems to be faster than raspbian or mate.

Just need to build pyqt5 from scratch now to get the widgets showing up in designer and then I'll be one step closer to a custom 3D Printer GUI.

Could you please make an image of it and upload it somewhere, i would like to give it a try but since i am very low on time, i can not afford to do the full install.
Thank you.

So now I have a complete linuxcnc-qt5vcp and Qt Designer up and running on Raspberry Pi 3 under Arch Linux. I had to start again from scratch and just install python2.



Next step is to add the RT-preempt kernel and I'll be finally back to 3D Printer development.

If there is interest I can start another topic on the steps needed to build the system on the RPi.

Chris, again, thanks for your great work!!

I have a raspberry pi board 3 that is not being used and will be interested in learning the steps required to get it working. I have to finish my work on the x1Mill gui first.

I'm still working on the probing section of the x1Mill gui which is taken a lot longer than anticipated. I did add two more buttons to the probing panel. One for the remap m6 and the other to pull up a probing history display if desired..

I have all the required hal pins built for probing and able load the default probing configuration from the .ini file and also from the preference file. Still need to finish the ability to write updates into the preference file and some pin additions to the post gui hal file before more testing can be done. Some of the changes required for the 'o code' files related to some name changes has also been completed.

There will likely be more things to do that are related to probing as refinements are made.
