I have a couple of the inexpensive HDMI input panels from eBay. You can get a variety of sizes and resolutions, with or without a resistive touch or capacitive multi-touch interface. I personally like the readability of a 7" 800x480 display, but this is slightly too small for Axis and the other UI options I've tried (although it seems like it should be more than enough screen real estate). If you get a 7" screen with more pixels, you can see the whole interface, but text becomes very difficult to read. For development work, I've switched to using old 17" DVI 1280x1024 monitors, which are big enough for me too see, with enough pixels to play with the various GUI options. The 7" screens are cute, but probably not real practical with LinuxCNC unless you're making your own GUI. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected]
