QTdragon and camera

Hi again,

Is it possible to include a cam view tab in QTdragon? Or better, has anybody done it? I am not a developer...

Yes, it already has one. You need to enable it in the Settings tab.

Hi Jim,

is it possible that I have an outdated version? I installed the 2.8.1 Version of LinuxCNC on Buster RTAI as described in the documentation.

I don't see the option to enable the camera...

Also it looks to me that something may be wrong with the styles of my installation. The buttons for jogging are barely visible.

A screenshot is attached.

Thank you for your help!

Yeah, that is really old. Have you done an update/upgrade? You should have the latest linuxcnc 2.8 installed and then run the qtdragon sim configuration.
I have 2.9 installed so I can't even open the 2.8 sim configs to verify anything.

That looks right for 2.8.1 I don't believe it got the camera tab before release.
The color style can be change by pressing F12 and opening and applying a new style.

A camera tab can can be added to a custom screen.

If you want to try out the latest version, which has the camera interface, you can download the files from github.com/persei802/QtDragon . Keep in mind, this is in active development and will change from time to time.
