The version of touchy I'm running doesn't have the 3d preview. I'm using it on a lathe and typically run wizards, so I don't miss the preview.
I have an MGP type jog wheel and some buttons mounted around the frame, connected via a homemade USB HID controller. The jog wheel and buttons are wired up like they were a pendant. http://www.franksworkshop.com.au/wordpress/2019/09/25/cnc-lathe-touch-screen -interface/ -----Original Message----- From: John Dammeyer [mailto:jo...@autoartisans.com] Sent: Wednesday, 2 June 2021 12:52 PM To: 'Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)' Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Touch screen for LinuxCNC Does Touchy now have the 3D preview that Jon mentioned? Are you using a rotary MPG type knob for it? Back when I was using MACH3 I bought a MODIO which has a 100 PPR encoder and buttons and uses MODBUS to talk to MACH3. I think there's a driver for it under LinuxCNC. Again something like that with buttons along a standard monitor with the buttons taking the place of the touch screen inputs. Whether it be ModBus or CAN with CANopen then becomes a moot point. Still just 4 wires for power, ground and coms up to the display. > -----Original Message----- > From: Frank Tkalcevic [mailto:fr...@franksworkshop.com.au] > Sent: June-01-21 6:47 PM > To: 'Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)' > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Touch screen for LinuxCNC > > I got one of these... > > https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32886510797.html > > The side brackets are removable and it has vesa mounting holes on the back. > I use it with a PC - HDMI and USB connection.
