Install Probe Basic

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

I don't really know but it seems to be set in the ini file:

 

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
NO_DOWNCASE_OWORD = 1
SUBROUTINE_PATH = subroutines

[HAL]
POSTGUI_HALFILE = probe_basic_postgui.hal
TWOPASS = on

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.
