Install Probe Basic

Hello, it looks like I've found the error.
It's related to my Mini PC

GMKtec K11 AMD Ryzen 9 Gaming Mini PC 8945HS(8C/16T, up to 5.2GHz),
32GB DDR5 4800MHz RAM 1TB PCIE Mini Computer, Oculink,
Dual NIC 2.5GbE LAN/HDMI/USB 4.0/WiFi 6/BT 5.2/DisplayPort/USB4*2

When I install the software on my old Intel i7 4 cores,
there are no error messages and the jitter is also better.

But it won't install on a new AMD Ryzen 9 PC.

Thank you very much for your help.

 

Your amd pc is a new hardware and you might need debian 13 Trixie but again you did not have problems loading debian bookworm mistry! If you want to try Linuxcnc rip installation which might work with your amd pc since its compiled. I have atttached is a step by step procedure. It worked for me using i5 mini pc with debian 12 bookworm RT with xfce option for desktop environment. 
edit: Once linuxcnc installed follow this procedure to instal qtpyvcp  

I've installed everything.

Also:
sudo apt update
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo apt install python3-qtpyvcp
sudo apt install python3-probe-basic

cd ~
mkdir dev
cd dev
git clone github.com/Lcvette/qtpyvcp-bookworm-installer.git
cd qtpyvcp-bookworm-installer
./install_for_qtpyvcp.sh
./updater.sh

And yet I still get this error:

FileNotFoundError: [Error 2] File or directory not found: 'user_tabs/ # REQUIRED Setting for Probe Basic'


Where is the 'user_tabs/' folder supposed to be? I've moved it to:
linux/configs and, just to be on the safe side, to linux/configs/My_Machine

If you installed linuxcnc as RIP,  before running qtpyvcp execute the following command at the prompt:
source ~/your rip path/linuxcnc/scripts/rip-environment 
Note you don't need to run linuxcnc just source its environment this allows qtpyvcp to find what it needs  to run

Hello, I've finally found the error.
The problem is caused by importing entries from the "pb_required_ini_settings.ini" file.
This is the file:

[DISPLAY]
DISPLAY = probe_basic
OPEN_FILE = ~/linuxcnc/nc_files/pb_examples/blank.ngc
CONFIG_FILE = custom_config.yml
MAX_FEED_OVERRIDE = 2.000000            # Recommended Setting for Probe Basic
MAX_SPINDLE_OVERRIDE = 2.000000         # Recommended Setting for Probe Basic
MIN_SPINDLE_OVERRIDE = 0.500000         # Recommended Setting for Probe Basic
INCREMENTS = JOG .01in .001in .0001in   # REQUIRED Setting for Probe Basic
USER_TABS_PATH = user_tabs/             # REQUIRED Setting for Probe Basic
USER_BUTTONS_PATH = user_buttons/       # REQUIRED Setting for Probe Basic

OWORD_NARGS = 1

And here's the error: USER_TABS_PATH = user_tabs/ # REQUIRED Setting for Probe Basic
There must be no comments after USER_TABS_PATH = user_tabs/, no "#" because that causes the error!!!

correct, this is explained int he instructions to remove the comments or you will receive errors.

 

If you follow the instructions carefully it takes about an hour start to finish including creating and installing Linux on a clean system. I do it every few days for new builds and testing and it's not too bad considering what it is. The machine setup is the most challenging and that is really such a unique to user thing that is hard to make it simpler.

@lcvette I have LinucCNC 2.9 running on my computer now, installed using this:
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/getting-st...th_preempt_rt_kernel
If I'm understanding the documentation correctly, the above link installs the Debian Bookworm distribution.

To install Probe Basic, do I start at the very beginning of this which seems to install Debian Bookworm.
kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/stable_quick_start_apt.html

Or start here?
kcjengr.github.io/probe_basic/quick_start.html

for installing qtpyvcp and probe basic use the apt install, it stay updated and will update as updates are available when you run sudo apt update for the system.

the linuxcnc installation seems to be a moving target, i use my own instructions in the stable_quick_start_apt for installing debian and linuxcnc and it seems to be the most reliable. but you technically should be able to do it the way you outlined above. please report back if you get errors.
