Hey guys I am also interested in installing 2.8 so I can have a go with the probe basic gui screen. Is it as simple as downloading from the link that phillip carter emailed above?
the Iso is easy as to get for 2.7 but the added complexity of installing from source or using the buildbot confuses me. If someone wants to be really nice they could make a quick video of the progress. Its probably easy as but unless we know how it remains a mystery. And I like to avoid banging my head against the wall with linuxcnc if possible:) Regards Andrew On Mon, Dec 30, 2019 at 3:32 PM Phillip Carter <phillcarte...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am not sure when it will be released, it can't be too far away. > > You should be good to go using the 2.7-rtpreempt changed to 2.8-rtpreempt. > > You could also download the the latest package from > http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/stretch/2.8-rtpreempt/ < > http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/dists/stretch/2.8-rtpreempt/> and install it > directly. > > > On 30 Dec 2019, at 1:17 pm, Dave Matthews <n36...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > I'll give it a try in the morning.
