John, FYI, I have done a couple of proof of principle touch screen layouts, but that is as far as I got with them. In particular I was looking at using a Lilliput 7" touch screen display (16x9 format), which is a bit different from say a 17"+ 4x3 format display typical of large CNC machines. In my

2009-04-17 Thread John Guenther
It there a simple example or other documentation on developing user interfaces for EMC2? I am assuming that whatever I do will need to talk to EMC through emcsh or emcsvr. A list of available commands for either or both would be helpful. I have been thinking of doing screens in Flash or perhaps
