Hi all,I noticed that SOME conversational macros ( pocketing, Frame etc.) are currently missing from my install from last night? What key detail am I missing? I was under the impression they were part of the build? Im new to this and testing the software on my PC. 

See pics

other than that, looks great! 
Followed this install link  kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/quick_start.html

Thinking about this a little more, where is the documentation link to writing custom conversation macros? Basic ones,I can learn on or test.

I have a few conversation mill events in python, but just can't figure out how to try and load them. Looks like I need a gfx screen and then links to the macros. Which then produces some gcode?

Any help or videos would be awesome. I want to add a nice pocket and frame event.

there is no documentation link for writing conversational macros unfortunately that is something you need to know how to code yourself. you could make some subroutine variants fairly easily with the help of chatgpt but test them carefully. existing conversational in the mill was done by someone else outside of the qtpyvcp coding resource pool, and they haven't be active in several years which is why its only partially completed.

Yea - when i started to look at the git, i can see its a 2 stage process.

1) the UI /variables
2) the code.

I can handle writing conversational as I have a few UI python to gcode scrips that use tkinter

too bad there is no template to follow for like a "hello world" macro test.

if all you want is to call a subroutine just drop in a subcall button name it and define the file for it to call and it will. that is the beauty of qtpyvcp is all the hard work is already baked in, just choose your widgets according to your use case.
