Qtvcp Development Discussions

Let me know when you think the Gui is ready for inclusion.

It's probably ready enough as it is, with some known shortcomings.  I'd be happy to try to integrate it and submit it as a PR if you point me in the right direction, but if you have reasons to want to do it yourself that's cool too!

cheers,

The main shortcomings I can think of:
- it's built primarily for my current conversion project (XYZW axis Bridgeport knee mill). I undid many of the things in QtAxis that made it a more generalized.
- it's built specifically for a 1920x1080 touchscreen in landscape
- I intentionally stripped out key shortcuts because I am integrating a physical control panel, and intend to change several more things for the same reason soon.
- No documentation

I was able to figure out where to add the GUI files and sim config files in the source tree, so I can submit a PR if desired. I'm still not sure if it's a more hassle for everyone to make it part of LinuxCNC right now vs. continuing development in my own repo until it's more mature.

Well keep us in the loop with your updates. If you are rapidly changing things then maybe wait a bit for inclusion - unless you are interested in on going linuxcnc development?
