Welcome to LinuxCNC.org

I'm interested for working module.
I just wan't to see image (but probably with correct aspect ratio as now isnt)
and to have ability to use some croshairs (few different ones - can be stored as image if necesary)

How much time "black magic" took to change gqcam?1? Can you do it?

Not much. You may take patch i've used for stock camview and use it for gqcam
Personally i'd perfer to fix camview to work with all cams then to work with gqcam.

Camunits provide good way to write and reuse plugins, so that's why i think patching gqcam
is worse solution.

When I resize EMC window the CAM portition is always completly filed with image - ie image ocupye complete area. So If I resize window to be lot wider then image still ocuppy full area. To maintain aspect I think I should see black stripes on left and right and ful height image.

I don't say that gqcam is better than camview. Just gqcam work in my system and camview not. If you can fix it then welcome. I just wish to use working one and to can configure crosshair.

If you can help then I can tell only THANKS as you are too far away to get some beer. on my account.

Fixing camview to work with strange cams is on my todo list so
But first i need to know what camera are you using? What driver?
Is it gspca one?

Magic to embed gtk into tk may be found at psha.org.ru/cgit/psha/camunits.git/commi...c257651270090d6b30d5
but this code is abandoned

As I know the cam is one of cheap Logitech. I do not know exactly as I striped cam out of the plastic house and make another one with ability to fine align axis of cam so I get constant offset from tool. For driver I use - no driver -
I didn't install any other driver as cam work instantly. So if the driver is installed is without my knowledge.

Is there some commandline to discover what cam is actualy connected?

The design of camera is like tinyurl.com/349tony

Driver is inside linux kernel
So you need to check loaded modules

lsmod | grep video
lsmod | grep gspca

First command will also include video drivers but not many.
I suspect gspca driver so last is to check it
Also 'lsusb' command will show you connected devices.

Thanks.
Please upgrade libcamunits6 and camview-emc packages.
I've added support for 'strange' cameras yesterday.

Where they are?!?

I download Camunits from [1]
code.google.com/p/camunits/ ->Downloads

..and try to run it outside of EMC2 without results.

psha where on IRC you are (I'm green (beginner) here too)
