I would like to get the 15” HMI screen for the apprentice. is there an option somewhere on the onefinity site. to purchase it? Not sure how to ad the Raspberry Pi software to my laptop.

Based on the specs for the Apprentice that should be possible, though I haven’t seen either Redline or Onefinity offer the HMI (the touch screen part) as a separate item. As of 2025.12.17 Realtime CNC lists the RTS-X software as “Coming Soon” for Windows, MacOS and Linux. ( see here ) Just for clari…

Which software would be best to connect to the Apprentice with my laptop then?

The software for Windows and Mac isn’t quite ready yet but it will be the same as the HMI except you will be running it on the laptop instead of the HMI.

So when you say “soon”, is that a month, two months, 2nd quarter, third quarter, a year?

Most likely at least q2 2026 at the earliest. There is a lot of gen 2 orders :slight_smile:

Ok I have downloaded the RTS-X software, but cannot unpack it because it says i need to run it as an Administrator. [RTS 1] and if I try to copy the files to a jump drive I get [RTS 2] how many hoops do I have to jump through to get this to work on my laptop?

No. The software up is for the HMI. The .exe is not yet available

They are still working on the non HMI software. It’s a brand new feature that you don’t have to have the HMI. If you really want to get up and running you can use the Raspberry Pi 5 image, but then you would need to buy a Raspberry Pi 5.
