cam_align in Axis

Glad you got it sorted

how do I edit the cam_view widget. I can do the

Are you using an installed version? If so the problem is your changes could be overwritten when you update (but you still can do it)
If you are planning on doing more customization, you might want to switch to a RIP version of linuxcnc.

In the case of the 'o' option, it also requires changes to Qtvcp.py to accommodate it.

Hi There I've been trying to get cam_align working following the instructions in the link below on bookworm and linuxcnc 2.9.2
I've got the camera working but can't work out which files I need to put the code in can anyone point me to where i might find this information

Fixing the not round holes - look here:
forum.linuxcnc.org/qtvcp/51151-camera-configuration?start=0
Those file changes will be in 2.9.3 release if you want to wait.

Recalling the adjustments on startup would require custom python code - a file change - to get qtvcp to save the info

MDI commands for Qtvcp go in the INI under the heading [MDI_COMMAND_LIST]
Here is a sample that also shows how to add labels

[MDI_COMMAND_LIST]
# for macro buttons
MDI_COMMAND = G0 Z25;X0 Y0;Z0, Goto\nUser\nZero
MDI_COMMAND = G53 G0 Z0;G53 G0 X0 Y0,Goto\nMachn\nZero

explained here, look for ini_mdi_number option:
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gui/qtvcp-...widgets:actionbutton

you can adjust the camera window size shown in AXIS using a -o options in the INI.
it may help with the oval holes.

instead of:
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND= halcmd loadusr -Wn qtvcp_embed qtvcp -d -c qtvcp_embed -x {XID} cam_align

try:
EMBED_TAB_COMMAND= halcmd loadusr -Wn qtvcp_embed qtvcp -d -c qtvcp_embed -x {XID} -o size=500x500 cam_align

You can adjust the 500x500 to change the size/aspect of the window.
