QTPYVCP error when changing tools using mdi

HI guys

I get this funny error when changing tools. I have a separate error I think changing tools with a G code program but I will just post this one first for now and see what you guys think.

basically the error shows when I use the toolchange widgit M6 G43 to change tools
if I just type the G code into the mdi there are no errors

here is a quick video of the problem



I have not been running probe basic for long. I had axis working fine and I have just changed the display in the ini from "axis" to "Probe_basic"

I have also copied what I thought was relevant from the standard probe basic ini fall

I have also copied all the G code subroutines from the probe basic sim config to my chevalier cnc mill config folder.

I have attached my hal and ini files to make things easy. there should be nothing else here

Thanks for the report

this got fixed and will be out in the next release

thank you!

Thanks turbo boss.

I would have thought this was a pretty common problem and surprised I found it lol.

Do you know when the next release is supposed to be?

And thanks so much for all your amazing work!

I think is because you have no program loaded, there should be an ngc file called blank.ngc, in your ini have probe basic load that file on startup. it is just a blank program to load to satisfy the vtk backplot requirement until the fix is done. once you have it setup to load that program on startup you shouldn't ever have a situation where that error comes up again. have a look at the sim ini file on how it is loading in the ini if you need guidance on it! that will resolve the issue i believe.

Hope this helps!

Thanks chris.

That's a easy fix!

yup, let me know if that works!!

just getting back to you guys

hey chris

I tried including the path to the blank ngc file in my ini file and it is still not working I think. I might have something else wrong though also.

My tool table is causing problems too. I just brought the table over from axis. in axis it works fine.

probe basic won't let me load a program it the current tool is the same as the tool that is called first in the program. it errors out.

But if I start again and deliberately change tool to another tool that is not used at the start of the program first and then load the program everything works fine. It is a bit weird. I really want to start using probe basic but these little issues mean I keep changing back to the "axis gui" as it just works.

But I will keep playing away with it.

also just to add to the last message.

when I try use the toolchange button in probe basic it errors out. so I may be missing some subroutines though I thought I got them all.

when I change tools for example T2M6G43 in the mdi input it changes fine.
