I'm a UNIX guy and actually do not use spaces in anything. But if I
have an input field, then I rely on the validation of the input.
Stepconf allows the space in a profile name but subsequently fails to
fix that up or reject it for later use as filename. I always found VMS
to be the simplest OS. Al
Is it possible to resize the axis window to something under 800 x 600?
The reason I am asking is my shop display by necessity is a 10.4 inch
LCD touch screen. I can display resolutions higher that its native
800x600 resolution but they are not always acceptable. I have tried the
usual methods of

Chris,
Ok. I just tried that on my Dapper system with 2.3 installed. EMC2
started up using axis with an 875x601 window even though the display is
set for 800x600. This does have the pyvcp spindle speed panel
configured in. I have the screen DPI set for 75, it was 96 when I first
checked it.

Hi all,
I finally got my CNC4PC 6 axis pendant set up to jog 3 axis, plus feed &
spindle override in Emc2_2.3.0 / Axis. I am using the ilowpass filter to de-
jitter the raw jog counts, and it is working quite well.

OH... and I forgot to mention that 4 of the 6 screw attachment threaded holes
that are used to hold the 2 halves of the plastic case together were split.

Thanks for the heads up and the sharing. I was looking at a pendant
and might opt for a self build when you have to fight with all the
stuff in any case The quality of Chinese stuff is a real problem.
Money for nothing.
Again thanks a LOT

PS;I would LOVE to have that Pendant running whi
If the pendant can be seen by the system it can be used I
assume as one would use a usb joy pad...

Greetings all;
I'm on the xorg mailing list too, and it appears from the messages I'm seeing,
that some update to evdev seems to have killed all the powermates. I put in a

same question as Gene. Pix would be nice.
I was thinking of buying one from stappenmotor.nl, they are charging 41
