(SOLVED!!!) Probe Basic - rotary axis jogging

It looks like things are not alligned as while the repo is correct, what is in the site packages is no.  So I would suggets the following a terminal within where you have cd'd to the qtpyvcp directory.

Ok, did that with no errors during install.

Did git pull again, terminal reported up to date.

Now I'm getting new (different) errors starting PB.  I've pasted the whole terminal output in case there's something useful.

 

you might need to uninstall then install probe basic.  Same pattern as you did for qtpyvcp.

However to avoid probe basic complaining about qtpyvco versions either comment out or delete this line:
github.com/kcjengr/probe_basic/blob/4bea...60e28f8/setup.py#L24

 

Ok, I'll have a go at it.  Before I do, can you review the steps below and let me know at what point I should edit the setup.py file?

cd /probe_basic

python3 -m pip uninstall probe_basic
python3 -m pip install -e .

before you redo the install.

Ugh.

PB shuts down after the last QT error pops up.

Check one of the other qtpyvcp sims.  e.g. mini or brender.   If they run up then the issue might be relating to PB not the framework.

And also make sure your probe basic is on the python3 branch.

In fact if you are on that branch then you should not need to edit the setup.py file at all as the install_requires line is correctly set to the repo head and NOT a specific version. i.e. if your probe_basic setup file is reference a need for a >=3.x version of qtpyvcp then that is a red flag you are on the wrong PB branch.

The other sims arent showing up in the LCNC launcher.

Since it won't launch, how do I check which branch of PB I'm on?

I think we have found a bug.  Looking into it.

Oh dear.  Hope I didn't break anything serious.
