Why doesn't that work for you? When > Yes. I was able to make thing ussable. It's ussable but not practic. Let's see what and why. If I arrange all windows to not overlap then all are too small so in first place I maximize AXIS interface. (why can't be started maximized at all?!? Or at least remember last position?!?) After that I start Camera window. I right click camera window and select always on top and move that window over AXIS preview place. (just fit inside) After that I start Learn.py and make that window always on top too and move over code window of AXIS. So now I have all windows visible doesn't matter witch is selected. Now I must click somewhere on AXIS interface and jog machine to reference point (with help of webcam) After that I must select and click Learn/Position. Then again I must click somewhere on AXIS interface to select it and repeat jog move to other reference points. And repeat that for all reference points. It's very easy to mess the selected window and keystrokes. I think to easy to make mess. After that I close the cam window and learn window. The coordinate of reference points are stored in file. All that just to save current coordinate in file. (under jogging) The old Turbocnc Can do that with single keypress. And modern CNC machines too! Few times I must scan hole position for PCB board. And in more machine procedure is same. Jog over the hole (with help of camera or optical finder) and pres single key to save coordinate. I don't understand why on EMC2 is too hard to have same thing?! (well keyboard shortcuts are pretty bussy).

They need a bunch of drivers and tweaking. So the code to grab picture inside AXIS seem's not good way. Simply won't run on all computers. But I think if the "another tab for webcam" just reflect image from some pipe od even webcast (streaming video) then thing is a lot easyer. I find few videostreaming packages and work's with different cameras. I try to run some on these and result is ok. I can have live video in firefox browser on EMC2 machine and on other (XP) machine in same time.So it's works. It can be done. Someone want that?
