This makes the Chat GPT answer pretty much useless. Probe Basic is a complete user interface written in QtPyVCP. Neither Probe Basic nor QtPyVCP (not to be confused with QtVCP) are part of the LinuxCNC project. So, alternatives to Probe Basic include: - AXIS, Keyboard GUI <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/gui/axis.html> - GMOCCAPY, Touchscreen GUI <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/gui/gmoccapy.html> - Touchy, Touchscreen GUI <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/gui/touchy.html> - Gscreen, Customizable Touchscreen GUI <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/gui/gscreen.html> - QtDragon, Customizable Qt based GUI <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/gui/qtdragon.html> - NGCGUI, Subroutine GUI <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/gui/ngcgui.html> - TkLinuxCNC, (no opengl) GUI <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/gui/tklinuxcnc.html> - QtPlasmaC, A Complete Plasma Cutting Configuration <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/plasma/qtplasmac.html> - MDRO, A Display for Digital Read Out scales <http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/gui/mdro.html> (ie, ,any other user interface) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
