GUI Builder

Installing the Qt Designer

In a terminal install the Qt Designer with:

sudo apt install qttools5-dev-tools

Building a GUI

Run the Qt Designer from the Applications > Programming menu and select a mainwindow.

Adding items from the side bar is drag and drop.

After dragging a widget into the window make sure you use the correct objectName for that widget. For example the E Stop button is called estop_pb.

Save the GUI in the configuration directory where you launch LinuxCNC.
