Flo I am also searching for a HMI solution for beagle bone running LinuxCNC . My idea is to use an inexpensive android tablet with a X11 server app that can provide a display a touch screen. I thin that this solution is affordable and much more colplete than a LCD interface with a keyboard and mouse and more space saving . For a small milling CNC I think that is better . The issue is that the tablets use only wifi connection Paul -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!

Re: [Emc-users] BBB Laptop Screens?
Hi Kirk Does anyone have thoughts on using an LCD screen from a laptop with a BBB? http://g3nius.org/lcd-controller/ AFAIK the Raspberry Pi features a LCD connector, so I should be possible to directly connect the panel to the PI. Not you cold remote control the BBB. Though this is a bit strange, it might be easier. Flo -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!

Ideally, someone has already done all the work on one of these solutions, and I can just copy it. ;) Your easiest path is using an HDMI display. EBay is your friend here, just make sure you get a display with enough pixels to see the entire LinuxCNC display. I got an 800x480 7 display which works great, but none of the (recent) UI choices for LinuxCNC work well with this small (in pixels) of a screen. :( If you want small, the 7 1024x600 displays should work well, which you can get on eBay for under $90 US: http://www.ebay.com/itm/7inch-1024-600-LCD-PANEL-TM070DDH07-VGA-HDMI-2AV-USB-touch-remote-control-/251322267928?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item3a83f97918 If you want quick and easy, just go pick up an HDMI TV at your local WalMart or equivalent. Anything with a 720p or higher native resolution should work OK, which should be most available displays these days. Interfacing to a picture frame LCD is more hassle than it's worth, unless you want to go through the experience (and gain the knowledge) of trying to interface to a raw LCD panel which probably doesn't have specs you can find online. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
