I use Glade, GladeVCP and it work great. Though think I had some problem I 
tried buttons with LEDs.

[Emc-users] VCP Panel Options?

[Todd Zuercher via Emc-users]

It has been a few years since I last built a VCP panel for a machine, and well 
time marches on and things change.  What would be the considered the most main 
stream, best supported VCP panel system?

The machine I'm overhauling had been set up with a PyVCP panel along the Axis 
UI.  Later machines I did used GladeVCPs.  Since then there have been newer QT 
based things for building VCPs (I know next to nothing about them.)  My old 
PyVCP was rather complex, it had check buttons to enable/disable each of the 8 
router spindles and displays to indicate each spindles run status feed back 
from the modbus control (run, stop, accel, decel, fault,...)  as well as a 
number of convenience features (cycle time display, jogging of work coord. 
Vacuum clamping...)  Most of these I could easily reproduce in a GladeVCP, 
except I'm not sure how to do the Spindle status displays.  In the PyVCP I used 
the image_u32 widget to display an appropriate image/lable for each possible 
status feedback from all of the VFDs.

There had been a lot of fuss with tools and depency depreciation for Glade 
about the last time I tried to use it  But QtVCP at that time was still not 
quite ready for simple use (needed more programming skills than I have.)

Is there or what might be the simplest way to achieve the same or equivalent 
display features I had before with Glade or QT VCP?  There are other changes I 
need to make to the VCP necessitated by changes made to the machine, so I need 
to re do it.  The old PyVCP is a bit of a bear to work with, expecially when 
things get complex.  So just weighing my options before I jump in and try to 
learn or relearn what I need to get this done.
