Confused about how to set up Probe Basic on a Raspberry Pi was created by Hypnotoad
I have a working configuration with LinuxCNC using AXIS and would like to try switching to Probe Basic. I've gone thru the Pncconf trying to create a Probe Basic configuration and it seems to require configuration of Mesa cards which I don't have. I'm using direct GPIO into a Rpi hat, which isn't directly supported from the standard stepconf tool either, but I was hoping to do what I did with stepconf -- make a config that assumes normal Linux parallel port configuration, and then modify that to use the Rpi GPIO HAL.
I saw a reference to a Probe Basic sim configuration in another thread with the suggestion that someone with a working normal stepconf config could look at the Probe Basic sim config and see what modifications need to be made. But I can't find that sim config.
Could someone point me in the right direction?

I don't think there is a prebuilt Probe Basic for the Pi. You would need to build from source
