User Install for Probe Basic Py3 (For Machine Control)

I will take a look in a bit when I'm at dev again, I noticed a few dependencies listed in the terminal were called in the build package,  there may be a version issue going on with it not building into the package.   Learning curve for me.. /o\

Sounds like it might.
Assuming a deb install, as an outside chance run this script:
This is for QTVCP but it shares a lot of dependencies with QTPYVCP.

i just tried the alpha 2 iso and it installs the non free firmware by default now this is the unedited apt source list file from the base installation:

I can confirm that the new packages and instructions work on a fresh install of Debian 12. The only thing that I noticed is that the "sudo apt --fix-broken install" step after the python3_probe_basic package install will fail if you haven't already started LinuxCNC and copied an existing config to your home directory which creates the /home/user/linuxcnc/configs/ folder. You could also create those folders manually. Re-running the command after creating the folders works. I will edit my first post to not confuse new readers.

no need will add to the readme doc and yes i forgot about that
downside of working on an unclean system that had linuxcnc installed already and opened. I may be able to create the directory in the postinst script, I will try and see if it does it!

I have noticed that the carousel images are not loading. Anything I should check?

hmmm, let me check on that, i am just loading a clean installation of debian and going to test the debs to try and see if anything else popped up missing, will report back shortly.

confirmed, somewhere while fixing the sims folder issue the atc widget broke.. will get that found and fixed in the morning with some luck.  thanks for pointing it out!

I wonder if the resources aren’t being compiled so the ATC images are not able to be loaded.
