Another GUI project underway

Hi Guys,

Just installed a new partition with mint 19.2 and 2.8 linuxcnc as per Tommy's instructions on his mint installation thread. All seems to work great, and runs my cnc router no probs.

Wanted to have a bit of a look at the probe basic sim, so ran through all the instructions on Kurt's qtpyvcp website. I also downloaded the bptouch and mill touch examples. i cant seem to see or access probe basic though. All the other examples are there, but no probe basic.

Not sure if i had done something wrong, or if it has been taken from the examples.

Any help would be great. Hope everyone is having a great festive season. Thanks Matt

You have to pick qtpyvcp sim first, then a second chooser comes up and should have all them in there

Hello Matt,

ProbeBasic has been moved from the QtPyVCP examples to a separate repository to make it easier to maintain. The new PB documentation is located here: kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic

Happy Holidays!
Kurt

This work with linuxcnc 2.9 ?

I installed it but when executing it, an error appears regarding openGL, and I really don't know how to fix it.
ERROR: In /work/standalone-x64-build/VTK-source/Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 797
vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow (0x55a31eacb850): GL version 2.1 with the gpu_shader4 extension is not supported by your graphics driver but is required for the new OpenGL rendering backend. Please update your OpenGL driver. If you are using Mesa please make sure you have version 10.6.5 or later and make sure your driver in Mesa supports OpenGL 3.2.

I had the same issue on my router machine running on an old PC. I don't think the graphics card / driver were adequate. (After googling OpenGL)

Installed on my gaming laptop with NVidia graphics card, all worked fine. (After having a battle with the laptop bios)
Sorry, not much of a help, but I noticed no-one has had the chance to reply.
If my explanation/reason is wrong, happy if someone corrects me. I'm a Linux noob...
