Sorry for my ignorance, how do I test your software?
1- I will download PYQT5, I will try to place it where it belongs (a little silly man from this side)
2-Which command should I execute? In others I find it easy: batch file .....
I hope help, hugs, Mario

Hi @MARIOBASZ,
Do you try cn5X++ on Windows or on Linux ?
If you try on Windows, tell me what is uncomplete on the wiki https://github.com/fra589/cn5X/wiki/Install-cn5X-on-Windows to get it running...

Hi @Gerhardathub,
<< doesnt work for me >> Is not à bug, and does'nt tell me what's wrong on your config...

  • The first step of Wiki tell you to install last updated version of Python from python.org, and during the install process, add python in your PATH, and .py file association that are install options.
    => Did the python installation have worked fine for you ?
  • The second step teel you to use pip to install dependency by typing pip install pyqt5 in the windows command prompt.
    => Did you do it ? Did pip install pyqt5 dependency fine or did you have any error during the process installation ?
  • The third step is to download and copy the cn5X whole directory on your computer and double-click on the cn5X.py file.
    => If the precedents steps have been done without errors, it should be work.

If no, try to open a Windows command prompt, then type:

> cd <directory_where_you_downloaded_cn5X>
> python cn5X.py

You should have an error message or info wich will be usefull for debuging...

Hi @Gerhardathub,

You probably miss to check the "Add Python 3.X to PATH" wich is unchecked by default on the first panel of the Python install process...
CaptureInstallPython

Or perhaps have you unchecked the "pip" on the next install panel "Optional features" ?
CaptureInstallPython2

Hi,
When you open a Windows command prompt then type :

C:\Users\Gauthier>cd <the directory where you downloaded cn5X>
C:\Users\Gauthier\src\cn5X>python cn5X.py

Do you have any error message ?

Hi
We are going forward :-)
Your error mean that "pip install pyqt54" did not work as expected...
I think you have made an install of python for all users on your system (this is an install option of Python) and if so, the "pip install" command need to run in an administrator cmd for installilg PyQT5 also for all users.
So, open cmd.exe as adminidtrator then ret-run the "pip install pyqt5" command should correct the problem.

Hi @Gerhardathub,

It's like you haven't the last version !
On your precedents posts, I can see you have the 0.3.h and the up to date version on Github is 0.3.k (3 release later) verify with the help/about dialog of cn5X...

The same problem about timeout under Windows have been discussed and corrected some time ago : #11 linked to fra589/grbl-Mega-5X#41
You need to download the last up to date version on the main cn5X++ page on Github: https://github.com/fra589/cn5X
image
Use the green button to download the good version. The other version in the release page are obsolete. I need th search how to remove them 😏...

About the only emergency stop wich is enabled at program start, this is normal for security reasons. See #14

It's a always a goot idea to seach and read old issues about softwares 😊...
