Neat! That looks very much like the touchscreen model I have! I notice a buglet in your layout - either X or Y jog seems backward. Not sure which one - depends whether you want them to represent tool or table motion. I like the coolant on/off/auto. I think that is a good idea. Does the cycle start button have a light? Touchy has a status output that tells when a cycle is running and when it's running but in feedhold. I have a light on my panel for that (finally hooked up a week or two ago). A light up button might be even better. There is also an output that tells you when the manual jog controls are active. It is less critical I think. I see you have a feed hold button - touchy wants momentary cycle start, momentary cycle abort, and a non-momentary feed hold switch. The feed hold has been improved since you were at my place using it - I think you will like it. Also I have a button for touchy.quill-up which jogs Z all the way up at full speed. I use it all the time to get the tool out of the way for measuring etc. Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
