QtPyVCP Tutorial

hi here are the iso files for the stretch
www.linuxcnc.org/testing-stretch-rtpreempt/

That stretch version is also a normall Linuxcnc install and it also works as a live session.

pl7i92 : Thank you for posting that link... I'll get the ISO there.

tommylight : Great... I'll make a new install thumbdrive... my last one is kinda old now... and I'll reformat my spare machine... then start the process and see if I can get there. I love doing the videos... but I can never stop learning... finding the time is a project on it's own!

From the examples I have seen so far... it looks like this is a freestanding panel... I'm typically used to writing the kind that are stuck to the side of Axis or in the center window. Will this replace Axis? In other words... create this and run independently... or is it just a floating window that runs in conjunction with Axis?

Thanks for the help folks!

Jerry my install instructions are for a clean install. To upgrade LinuxCNC is a slightly different procedure. So yea if you follow my instructions you will have either a dual boot or wiped out all your stuff depending on what you selected during the install of the OS.

I'll presume then that one must download the ISO from linuxcnc.org/downloads/ then perform an update procedure as there is no current ISO that can just be downloaded and run like the normal LinuxCNC install. Correct?
(I need to use the proper procedure if I make a YouTube tutorial video to push to my 3600 subscribers.)

Thanks,
Jerry

You could download Debian 9 with LinuxCNC 2.7 and update to 2.8.

Or you could install Debian 9 or 10 (10 has a few issues with gscreen) from my instructions at gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/uspace/

I'm guessing the one to use is : www.linuxcnc.org/testing-stretch-rtpreem...uspace-amd64-r12.iso

And to update to 2.7... I believe... linuxcnc.org/docs/html/getting-started/updating-linuxcnc.html

So I have a plan... I'll do that as soon as possible.

Thanks BigJohnT !
