Also I tried to install this friendly program on my raspberry pi without success (see #72). \r\n\r\nThis time I announce that finally my efforts were crowned with success. I have installed grblcontrol and Candle in my raspi-3b raspbian on two different images, one in the traditional Jessie (2016-05-27-raspbian-jessie.zip image) and another in the new jessie PIXEL. In both cases I used micros-sd memory of 16GB Class 10. \r\n\r\nI want to provide information about steps I walked for people interested in getting it and do not know how to achieve it: \r\n* I made an installation of libraries QT5 by native compilation of sources from the git repository cloned on raspbian (to compile source code Denvi, qt5.4 or higher is required). I rely on recommendations found in the QT wiki post “Native Build of Qt5 on a Raspberry Pi”. In my case, obtain QT5 libraries compiled from source required a time of 8 hours in the raspi-3b (mentioned article refers 2 days?). While I followed meticulously and carefully the steps there, trying not to make mistakes, I needed to modify the data about type and amount of binary packages that I installed, because from 56 packages given there only 15 I used to make my 203 proper packages installed, based on tests I did. Do not use the package list in the post nor did the patch give there. Only use “my-package-list”, “sudo apt-get install \\<my-package-list\\>”, then “sudo apt-get update”, “sudo apt-get upgrade”. \r\n* Following I give “my-package-list” to install previous to clonate git qt5 sources, init-repository… , configure…, make…, sudo make install… etc.etc. \r\n\r\nPay attention for changes to introduce in files there mentioned. Use “copy-paste” for text on the post and edit every line in your preferred text editor previously to paste it in the terminal command line to be executed. Pay attention using “sudo” were needed and change use permissions for private files. \r\n\r\nIf you intend compile Candle in qt-creator you must fix two present errors in the source code gave at present as .zip file:\r\n* In frmmain.h you must append the following line:\r\n~~~ \r\n#include <QGLFormat>\r\n~~~\r\n* and in qlwidget.cpp you must append: \r\n~~~\r\n#define GL_PROGRAM_POINT_SIZE 100\r\n~~~\r\n\r\nIf it were of interest to get a raspbian image with qt5.7.1 libraries installed and grblcontrol and Candle, please give me to know and I will introduce a link to download (dropbox or google drive). Best regards.

It works very well. Here's some feedback:\r\n\r\nI'm using a raspi 3.\r\n1. the 3D manipulation is great, very smooth when you zoom in/out or rotate. This is where I thought there might be a speed problem with the raspi but it works surprisingly well.\r\n2. in 'CHECK' mode the mouse becomes sluggish. But that's OK because you wouldn't normally do much with the 3D view while it's doing the check. I tried it with a G-code file containing many lines and a few arcs as well as one which had many arcs (40,000 lines). The mouse is very sluggish in the latter case.\r\n3. during a normal Send ie while cutting, the mouse and 3D manipulation is good. \r\n4. there's a few quirks I found:\r\na:  after you run a CHECK or after cutting if you go back to the Service Menu it won't let you change settings like Query period, Rapid speed, etc. You have to quit Candle and re-start it.\r\nb:  when you quit Candle there are a few funny things happening. On one occasion when I quit the web browser was open and connected to the qt site. On other occasions 2 FileManager windows were open, one was /home/pi and the other was /home/pi/.themes.\r\n\r\nOverall it's great to see that Candle can run on the raspi and congratulations again for your efforts. I will continue with feedback and I hope others try running it on the raspi too.\r\n"}}
