Some problems with probe basic lathe

I’ve tried changing the field names in Turning using Qt Designer so they match the macros, but without success. I’m not exactly sure if what I tried makes any sense, since I don’t have experience with this.I’ve looked at the files in the link, but are they for Probe Basic Mill? This is a bit beyond me because I don’t really have the necessary knowledge…I also saw a post on the Facebook page about an update to the lathe conversational section. Does anyone know when that update will be released?

it will be a while and that is not a "probe basic" item it is actually a universal machine conversational that will also be able to be added in as an external plugin to probe basic. its a ways out as i have limited time to work on it lately.
 

I changed the macro names, but I wasn’t able to get it to work.
I’m not sure if the names I saw in Qt Designer are the correct ones…

did you verify your paths for the subroutines were correct? those look to be correct names to be parsed. it appears you have hardcoded max rpm speed instead of using the ui entry. but other than that the names look to be correct. I would test by copying the subroutine and trying to run it as a program filling in the data as expected and see if you can make it run, may tell you if the subroutines is correctly formatted or not.

i just tried using the facing one and it does do things, but i really am not a fan of the setup, i suspect it is incomplete compared to the original macros andy put out. it looked to have several missing inputs. and im not a fan of it running without having a chance to see the output plot for verification. i would say the subs need some work before i would use them personally.

I wanted to pick this up again to try to get the macros working, but I've noticed that the conversational tab in Probe Basic Lathe no longer appears. Would it be possible to get it back?

going forward you would need to use the usertabs for that. i am releasing a conversational plugin that will utilize that conversational tab so it is now no longer populating with the old bad conversational unfinished screens and macros.
