Another GUI project underway

Task: JogIncrementWidget - jog X, Y, Z, JogAngularIncrementsWidget - jog A.
Distance clicked button axis. In Probe Basic, hold the axis button.
Works correctly in qtdragon.

Hazzy decided he liked it that way (I DO NOT like the hold button method personally and feel it SHOULD be click per distance), but there is a method to make it single click for full increment distance travel as well.. i don't remember the requirement for that functionality, but have asked Hazzy if he can enlighten me again. i don't use it on my machine as i have the pendant for my jogging moves so im not refreshed on the requirement.

Hey guys

I just installed probe basic but cannot open it because I apparently don't have the open GL 3.2 graphics drivers.

search the forum it looks like this is a common problem lol.

Do you guys know how to fix this and where to start?

I am only using a old computer at the moment. I think it has a intel I2 processor in it.

But so far it goes well and I can have lots and lots of stuff open and everything still works fine with no latency issues. So I would like to get this going of course.

Regards

Andrew

Unfortunately this problem is caused by old hardware, so there is not much that can be done from the software side, other than removing / replacing the components that require OpenGL 3.2.

If you are using a desktop PC I would recommend you get a cheap graphics card and use that. Almost any half way modern card will do, should be able to find one for next to nothing. There really isn't another other solution.

Sorry mate

sweet. good to get a reply from the man himself:)

If the hardware is the only problem I will just find a external graphics card. and plug it in. I am using a old small form factor hp compaq 8000 with a intel i2 processor.

I was reading up on the intel stuff and open GL earlier today and it looks like intel only supports open GL 3.0 if you have a intel I7 processor or later which ais a pretty expensive and fast computer. definitely not the cheap throw away pc most people start with. Just to test I plugged my hard drive into my cad pc which has a i7 processor and probe basic worked. But I still want to get my normal pc up and running.

Did the external graphic cards support open GL 3.0 earlier? and can you give me a example of what I am looking for please eg brands to use and how new it has to be etc..
