My milling machine has a a touchscreen, and no keyboard.
It works nicely with Touchy for normal milling.
I am trying to set up a custom tab for the hobbing setup. I have it
working, but entering DP and tooth count is a bit painful. I am
currently using spinbuttons, but as far as I can see (and as
There is a numeric-only popup keyboard used with pyngcgui
in some sim configs (example: configs/sim/touchy/ngcgui/pyngcgui_touchy.ini)
(based on original work by J. Thornton)
Example python code to use:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import
Andy
As I have it, the size of the spinbox is fixed but if you have a look at
how we did it in the plasma screen of gmoccapy it might help. We used a
button for positive increment and one for negative. There is s label
above the buttons and that label value is changed by pushing either
button.

Here is a theme with large sliders that works better with touch screens.
Thanks but it looks like I can't avoid coding anyway, so I will look
at the popup keyboard

I'm back at work on my lathe conversion, reviewing what I have so far, cleaning
up documentation, etc. I've run into an issue / question, hopefully I'm just
missing something.

Configuration wizards by there very nature can only support a small subset of
that.
You can certainly load a software encoder counter and use it for the MPG.
But if the Mesa card provides enough encoders (one per servo axis, one

The 7i76 only provides one encoder input since it's a stepper card not a servo
card. Can you point me in the direction of some docs on loading a software
