-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've played with the various interfaces for LinuxCNC on the BeagleBone (tunneling X display data to a remote system), and touchy seems to be the best choice from a CPU usage and system integration standpoint (the 'Bone can support driving small LCD displays directly, that would work well with the large buttons in touchy but not so much with something like axis).
Anyway, I'm wondering if there is a way to run touchy with a simulated jog wheel and start/abort buttons or if I have to physically wire something up. I don't much mind wiring some buttons myself, but I can't really make this the default interface for the machinekit image if people will have to dig out the soldering iron to get LinuxCNC going through the motions. I can run the touchy simulation configuration, but I have not been able to get the loaded gcode to run (presumably because I can't press the start button that isn't there). So do I need real hardware or am I missing some detail of the touchy sim setup that would give me some virtual buttons (maybe as a stand-alone pop-up window)? - -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlG8trMACgkQLywbqEHdNFwU0QCdHp/e+q30eFOceDvlsxfLmZ/r 5ugAoLNG2tpqXSr9IoQEw/LWG/icgjVg =EWN6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
