The post in linuxcnc basically informs what I intended to do with the patch
included.
This is my first attempt to contribute with code.
If something was done incorrectly let me know. It would also be nice to
know if the patch is accepted and added to the master branch.

simple conversion of units might do. e.g position/speed should be
multiplied by 25.4, acceleration by 25.4*25.4.

It would be nice if 800x480 was usable. That's the most common
resolution for the 7" LCD panels I like to hook to the BeagleBone.

Oh, one more thing. Current defaults in metric mode are the same as
inch defaults, and do not make any sense.

Right, almost unusable for any real work...

IMHO, having any defaults in a data entry box is confusing to new users
as they think the "defaults" should be correct instead of putting a
reasonable value for their machine.

I have not tried that but:
It should be useable on 800x600 displays right now.

Chris,
I've noticed that old stepconf is not usable on small displays, e.g.
1024x600 netbook screen.
Will you consider this in new code?

There are a couple of annoyences in stepconf in 2.5.3
if you pick a pyvcp demo, a pin is used that does not exist in the
config produced something like "spindle at speed" (im not on the
machine I set this up on while writing this, I just deleted the line
from the file produced)
If you set a metri

I have refactored stepconf to use gtk builder.
libglade's druid is badly broken and going to be dropped
in future linux distributions.
I also broke it out to more files for ease of adding pages.
This is for future upgrades for BBB configuring etc.
It also helped me flesh out some ideas for pncconf
