Re: [Emc-users] Tormach's Unexpected Benefits Of LinuxCNC
I have some old grocery store touch screens that linux configures on boot and they just run. I even have a couple that work on boot prior to any operating system starting. I suggest you try them. If they are USB they likely will work without any effort on your part.

Both of these, from what I've looked at with a scope, appear to be rs232
based, at about 9600 baud when I measure a bit time. The latest
purchase is an LCD, and has a home on a legacy computer in the basement.
The other is a 20 yo crt, with a db9 output that if I checked the baud
rate, its been forgotten because it was a decade ago.
I should look at fleabay see if they have any more, preferably in a 22
tv screen format like I am using on the new mill. Samsung tv, with a
failed tuner, still a good monitor though.
