I pushed some small fixes to the dialog buttons for qtDragon - let me know if it's better - when ever it updates.

You didn;t post what it looks like - but it's not your fault.
I added some code so the dialogs can be styled differently and then didn't add stylesheets changes for them.
I'll try to fix them soonish.


Chris, I attached a screen shot. Is it not showing? In any case thanks. It is not causing any problem with operation.

Something else I noticed before the update. I assume the different between answering "Yes" vs "System Shutdown" is the latter is supposed to also shut the PC down. I tried both buttons and they both just shutdown LinuxCNC and not the PC.

Thanks
John

As soon as I'm done with the probe stuff, I will start on the QtDragon documentation. Shouldn't be much longer.


Thanks. No hurry. Just exploring and learning for now.

I got the following completed:
Home LEDs connected and working.
Manual tool changer dialog to come up.
Figured out how to touch off the X and Y. (I think)
Tested my touch plate with probe button an it works.

Future. I want to change the probe buttons to perform the touch-off and use the various buttons to use either -.1 or +.1 offset for the edge finder based on which direction I am probing from. I don't want the button to perform any motion in t he X/Y as would be needed for a probe. I just need it to record the current spot plus/minus the .1 offset as zero.

Off to read up on adding/modifying buttons.

There are places on some screens that refer to mm or mm/min. If there a setting that I haven't found yet that let's you switch to inch?

Thanks
John

In MDI mode, type G20. Most labels will change, those that don't are hardcoded for metric. Type G21 to switch back.

Hello John! Place these files in the sim.qtdragon folder, if you like, just delete them. What's the size of your monitor?

Hi,

on reading this thread, I thought - give it a try ...
... only change: debian stable (buster) and linuxcnc master (current checkout and fresh build).

Fails with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/src/linuxcnc-dev/share/qtvcp/screens/qtdragon/qtdragon_handler.py", line 94, in <lambda>
    STATUS.connect('interp-idle', lambda w: self.set_start_line(0))
  File "/usr/local/src/linuxcnc-dev/share/qtvcp/screens/qtdragon/qtdragon_handler.py", line 802, in set_start_line
    self.w.lbl_start_line.setText('1')
AttributeError: 'VCPWindow' object has no attribute 'lbl_start_line'

Here is an option for your monitor, qtdragon + functionality. If you don't like it, just delete these files.

Thanks I will give these files a try. Eventually I want to get a touch screen.
Is there a portrait mode version of QT Dragon?

I thought I had QT Designer installed but that must have been on the Mint 20 version I had setup before. Now I am running Mint 19.3. I went looking for the package I needed to install to get QT Designer but the only one I found indicated QT4. Do I need a QT5 one explore making changes?
