Every once in a while I sit down and try to get something going in QT creator for remaking My project machine LinuxCNC GUI to QT for use with a remote instance of Machinekit. Right now this machine runs LinuxCNC with a mesa 7i96, and it works just fine, however my ideal setup is to use MKSOCFPGA on the DE10-Nano with the interface board I created to replace the mesa hardware and get the hal side off of the x86 PC. Getting a QT ui going would just be too much work even if I could get it started
Problem is AFAIK all of the remote stuff is baked into qtquickvcp, and not MK's gladevcp has nothing new. I'm fairly certain I can get the existing GTK2 UI to run under MK as I've made a GTK2 test UI for my interface board that runs in both MK and LinuxCNC, but I'd need remote capabilities. The other day I was playing with linuxcncrsh and was able to control basic things on my MK test GUI with it but linuxcncrsh has no ability to set pins. I tried halrmt which supposedly does set pins but it does not seem to run on MK. From what I've read, linuxcncrsh and halrmt are both poorly coded so I don't think they are ideal anyway. I guess the basic question is is there any way to get machinetalk or any small useable portion of it to work with a GTK2 GUI? -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
