LinuxCNC 2.8.2 Download, Install & Probe_Basic GUI Install

I was asked by several people about the Linux CNC installation in my previous video on bench-testing the servos and drivers for my DIY CNC Mill conversion, so I decided to record the whole process including the installation of probe_basic.

It's split into two sections; the first, captured on Windows 10, where I download the linuxcnc 2.8.2 ISO and create a bootable USB flash drive, and the second where I captured the HDMI output of the Intel NUC DCCP847DYE as I installed LinuxCNC 2.8.2 and then installed probe_basic.

Hey Robbie, nice install video! Just to clarify, Kurt is the creator of qtpyvcp along with a lot of help from some other folks like Turboss (Jose Toledano) and Joco (James Walker) . Probe Basic is a GUI I built and runs on top of QtPyVCP. TurBoss and Joco are the primary contributors of time now in maintaining and fixing things and in keeping qtpyvcp current with the changing tides of linuxcnc 2.9 master py3 conversion. I would like to personally thank them and let them know its a joy to work in that team environment!

Nicely done, thank you. I just posted this on the LinuxCNC forum, it simplifies things for many users there. BTW, i am tommylight there.

I haven't used my cnc in over a year and never seen Probe Basic. I was using Gmoccapy which is much more pleasing to the eye than Axis. Now that I'm dusting off the ol gal I'll have to give Probe Basic a go. I'm just hoping to find an easy way to switch over to usb.

A video on how to set tool lengths and work offsets would be really, really appreciated

Great job. A problem with text in video's is youtube uploads and download video's at a minimal pixelation. You almost have to increase the font size on your computer to achieve a readable text for the final viewing. I not complaining, just a thought.

You saved a day for me man, thank you!

This is a fantastic video how to install Linuxcnc .thanks very much. Watched it a few times. I had all the same things happen to me. thanks

Hello, Thank you for posting such a video for CNC hobbyist. I like to watch this video frequently. I was able to install Probe_Baisc GUI for my LinuxCNC. I try to set up a new LinuxCNC Probe-basic GUI with better computer, but I cannot do anymore since Probe_basic installation has been changed. Could you please make another video for how we can install Probe basic? Thank you for you time.

Wow, that's a big step-up in gui, compared to the basic.

[MestreDentistaGUC]

Great video! I'm looking to get into trying my luck at maybe building a cnc machine.

[Jikdor]

Thanks a lot. Yeah better real those licens agreements; I already new that efter seing South Park HumancentiPad

[Z-add]

I believe the tormach controller is also based on linuxcnc. Their gui is also very good.

[wnbrook]

Great video, any walk through or how to use it will be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for your work!
Could you maybe tell what hardware you have used and what are the latencies?

Was planning on using probe basic, but it looks like the link to the installer is gone, or is no longer active. (Update: I did manage to get it installed using the development install instructions, and even migrated my entire working axis config over, with the exception of the VFD RPM feedback. It appears that the version of Probe Basic that installed while following the development install instructions, didn't include the ability to link to the relevant pin for the GUI in Probe Basic to display the realtime RPM. I was reading a few threads online and apparently it's dependent on Python 3, and my Debian 10 LinuxCNC 2.8.4 Install isn't going to be able to run Probe Basic with encoder feedback unless I do an entire system upgrade... Kind of a huge pain. Not to mention I had major issues with LinuxCNC in Debian 11, couldn't even run my latency testing to tune my PC for better jitter numbers.

Hello, i get an error "QPalette has no attribute inactive", is anybody know what causes that problem and hhow can i solve it, thanks...

[dronesvisionsaeriennes]

Hello, I discovered your video, great! on my side I created a dual boot with iso file of debian 11 + rufus + complete debian11 installation with in the end the request to remove my USB key and restart my PC .... but when opening the PC I I still have 2 items...Win10 or Continue installing can never launch Debian...If you have the solution, I'm interested.
Thanks

Hello, if i have a working configuration of axis, ca i update to probe basic and copy settings from axis ? Or i need to do all the setings again? Thank you.Alexandru

Is there a downside to run a real-time hardware control system (plasmac) from a USB NvMe drive, over ethernet through a Mesa 7i96e card. I've measured latency of 1.02 ms servo thread and 26 msec base thread on this drive, under the live install.? Makes it real easy to use the computer /Windows or dual boot from the NvMe USB for Linuxcnc. Note on this HP Pavilion laptop I don't have an option for a second internal Nvme drive and the primary drive is maxed out from Windows.
