First, you have to make it run with LCNC. I just followed the install instructions on the above link, and had to remove all the edits to all the files it calls for, before I could even get LCNC to run again. I believe there is a clash between its use of gladevcp, and the fact that I have a 3rd tab in the preview window containing a spindle tachometer. So that basket of gladevcp based rattlesnakes has yet to be sorted. On another piece of potentially usefull goodies, I drug out a 2 yo+ Logitech C920 webcam, a super duper highdef model, and plugged it in. Installed cheese just to see if it still worked. Fresh install of cheese is busted, throwing up a screenfull of duplicate definitions in one class error. So, I install all the v4l2 stuffs I can find, and run v4l2ucp. It recognizes the camera, but its apparently read-only and v4l2ucp, if you click on an option, it goes into a popup forever saying it cannot communicate with the camera. But it just did query it for its features and the default values for those features. So, putting 1 = 1 together and coming up with 3 or more, the thought comes to mind that udev has made it root only to write to it. But I am not comfortable wading around in a udev file with an editor unless I know precisely what I should do. Am I playing on the correct field here, and if so, how to fix it so a normal user can access it and configure it and use it. I was going to put it on the toy mill with camview a couple years ago, but this one is simply physically too big for the toy mill, but could be glued or screwed to the side of the head on this GO704 and would not be any more in the way than the triple handles I have removed from the manual quill drive. What udev file do I check, and adjust if this lack of user perms is the problem? Thanks all.
