Probe basic setting new machine

Hi,

just installed Probe basic ( quick install ) no development vrsion.

After installation, I see few sample configurations in the config folder, but only the sim versions. Does this mean that for a real machine I just have to edit the ini and hal configuration files in the ,,sim,, folder?

Thank you.

If you have a working machine config already, all you need to do is change the [DISPLAY] DISPLAY option in your INI to probe_basic.

Thank you, I thought it was necessary to adapt the sample halls and ini from probe basic due to the specific functions that are designed specifically for probe basic.

If you don't have them in a standard location you will need to copy over the ProbeBasic specific sub routines, and you may need to tweak a few other things to your liking, but in general its best to start with a know working config and add what's needed for ProbeBasic, rather than try to adapt one of the probe basic sim configs.

Hi,

after clean install Linux CNC 2.8 and Probe basic, when i start Probe basic sim then this error appear:

Thank you for help!
