Different Python GUI for example with PyQT5

#1 · 19 January 2025, 11:28

Hello!

Is it possible to build my GUI with SimCNC by for example PyQT5 elements?

Or any other GUI Library?

I have installed the packages by pip command, but the SimCNC Software tells that there is no such library available.

greetings

What are you missing that you need an additional library? The simCNC GUI editor has a lot to offer. I created my entire GUI with it and it has almost nothing in common with the original. I have integrated all the probing routines, spindle warm-up and face milling cycles. Other users have integrated camera measurement or their own tool table. If you are missing something specific, CS-Lab may be able to integrate it for you.

Unfortunately, there is no such possibility.
simCNC is not created in Python, it only supports Python macros, and that is something completely different.

There is no problem with including the functions. My Machine is working fine with SimCNC.

For example i use "tkinter" for the GUI part in a macro, i just wanted to use a different GUI library (like PyQt5).

I struggle a little bit with the alignment in the macros of textboxes etc. , when i use the "grid" option from tkinter.

Thanks for the answers! Will work something out with that 🙂
