Add Buttons in Probe Basic

Pretty sure yes... i got it to work now. But the latency of my new system is really really slow. I switch back to the old one. 

Last question for today...
" i would remove everything and reinstall from scratch using apt only, be sure to purge all installations"
what exactly i need to deinstall and which commands in the terminal?

without knowing how and what you did its nearly impossible to guess, you appear to have been using multiple different old version to test or try things, so i would almost say for someone at your level your best bet is a clean build fro the ground up to ensure you don't have any remnants remaining that could muck up future progress.

Yes, probably you are right... tomorrow next try

Hi,
i made a new install on my system today but fail again

- I downloaded and installed Bookworm 12.13 from the Probe Basic site  kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/probe_basi..._stable_install.html
- i did sudo apt update
- i did sudo apt upgrade
- i downloaded the AMD64 Deb for PC
- i did cd~
- i did cd Download
- i did sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.8_amd64.deb

Run it again,

At the bottom once it completes running and you have an entry line again run the following command:

Sudo apt --fix-broken install

This will collect and install any missing dependencies and should complete the installation.

Sudo apt --fix-broken install didn´t work. I used the Synaptic Package Manager. I used Broken Filter, deinstalled it.
Then sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.8_amd64.deb again and after it sudo apt install linux-image-rt-amd64 and restart.
Now i have the Preempt Kernel and Linuxcnc 2.9.8 installed

Seems to work now

great! glad you got everything setup! now ONLY use the apt install for the rest of the probe basic install!

once done you ONLY edit while running:

editvcp probe_basic

this goes for when you edit anything including the user sidebar, the user tabs, user buttons etc. this opens probe basic in qtdesigner and qtpyvcp so all of the existing custom widgets are available.

DO NOT EDIT THE PROBE BASIC SCREEN or it will break you apt update ability.

only run it to startup qtpyvcp with full functionality.

Just to verify...
-> edivcp probe basic
From there i open for example the main-template (attached photo) if i want to add buttons?
