Add Buttons in Probe Basic

open a terminal and type in:

editvcp probe_basic

it will open the editor so you can see the properties. here is an image of them for reference:

 

 



Follow the sim hal and postgui hal to see the connections. note the pinbasename properties for the in gui button and the led and how the connections flow in postgui hal:

# *** Probe graphic simulation trigger push probe tip ***
net probe-in  =>  qtpyvcp.probe-in.out
net probe-in  <=  qtpyvcp.probe-led.on

I can open probe_basic now and QT Designer starts. The sidebar here shows many more options then on the sidebar when i open template_main-ui. I don´t have these QtPyVCP Widgets. So QtPyVCP it is probably not installed. 
So i tried to install it like shown here  www.qtpyvcp.com/install/pypi_install.html  . I installed the Prerequisites and did "python3 -m pip install qtpyvcp"
error: externally-managed-environment

Then i tried

sudo apt install python3-qtpyvcp
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

python3-qtpyvcp is already the newest version (5.1.0).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

you have a mess going on there. if you were installing per the probe basic docs then it would have looked exactly as what i showed above, that is from a very simple apt installation. you seem to be making this much harder on yourself than it should be. i would remove everything and reinstall from scratch using apt only, be sure to purge all installations you may have installed per the docs on how to do that that you used to install. hat goes for both probe basic and qtpyvcp.

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.

Hello and sorry for the late reply. I got a new PC yesterday and i finished to do the Debian 12 installation right now.

I followed the Probe Basic Stable docs...

I stuck on step 3 now 
cd ~

Did you do a
sudo apt update
before
sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.8_amd64.deb
?

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?
