Andy, I wrote that some years ago. It is specifically designed for use on 4x20 LCD displays like those available through Matrix-Orbital, Crystal-Fontz, etc. and similar displays supported by the lcdproc library.
One of the main limitations was that the jog buttons do not work properly without a patch to the LCDProc library. Specifically individual key press and key release events are not detected in the standard library, although Matrix-Orbital does support them. I submitted a patch for this to the lcdproc list, but it was never applied. I have not looked at it in several years, so that may no longer be the case. As a result, I never considered it production ready, and thus never made an announcement. It was originally name emclcd until the recent rebranding. Regards, Eric I have just noticed that there is an LCD user interface for LinuxCNC. (linuxcnclcd). Has anyone tried using it? I don't think it does the same thing as the LCD HAL module that I am playing with, it seems aimed at doing all of the user interface in a 4x20 LCD with some buttons. I can see situations where that might be quite cool, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
