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
If I wanted to set up a Pi4 with LinuxCNC and a touch screen is there any
particular one that jumps out as the best solution?
And with an LCD display/touch screen other than 'axis' what is a more usable
screen?
Thanks

I got one of these...

The side brackets are removable and it has vesa mounting holes on the back.
I use it with a PC - HDMI and USB connection. I use it with touchy.

Specifically what sort of wizards. Like the MACH ones?

These are from 2011 or so.

Is anyone using them?

That's the one. I was getting them for 189/199usd before the chip shortage.
I use gmoccapy on my lathe and alternate between gmoccapy and probe basic
on my router. Now that dragon has a 1920 option, I may try that as well. I
tinker, so I'm forever trying new stuff.

I have an older wired Pendant like this one.

I waffle back and forth between keyboard operations and the pendant. I'm not
sure how useful the touch screen would be relative to a pendant and keyboard.

Personally I like the tactile feedback of a button that moves. But moving from
buttons over to a mouse to then select entries is tedious so I can see either a
number of buttons or a touch screen for that sort of thing.
For the same reason I really detest those interfaces based on Arduino's
Hi Stuart,
Did you mean I/J instead of I/K or does it matter? But thanks for the info.
I'll dig into that a bit deeper when I get a chance.

Need to get this conversational stuff going on my machines.
It would be good to get something set up that is part of the install iso
for axis maybe for the wizards

Yikes. Only number that came up was the VT229H from ASUS.
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/asus-vt229h-21-5-lcd-touchscreen-monitor-16-9-5-ms-gtg/13502567
On sale for a few days for $357.99 w/o PST/GST taxes or a nice even $401 Cdn.
What are you using for the display software?

I favor the Touchy interface. You will need jog buttons and any other
button that could possibly cause machine motion. Touchy was written to not
allow machine motion from the touchscreen.

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

You may want to use "touchy"
It shouldn't matter. On a lathe using X and Z the symbols are I and K.

Never used the Mach ones. But anything like the path pilot stuff.
Eg profile cycles
Parting
Facing
Threading
Taper threading
Tapping
Grooving
Straight Turning
Etc.
Only ones I really want are the first 4
Just for easy fast jobs without cam

I have used these before. The USB version just works out of the box with
every Linux distribution I have tried. In fact they work before Linux is
booted up on most of them. The serial ones work just fine
Gentlemen,
My experience programming a Fanuc 5T control starting in 1979 taught me the
IK calculation was VERY critical. If the IK values caused the control
calculated radius to be longer than the axis position commands the control
would choke on the G02/G03 line. The control would handle the

You can use
I haven't got a spindle encoder mounted yet nor switched to step/dir for it.
Just PWM to 0V..10V from cheap far east module. Only goes down to about 100
RPM.
Looking forward to mounting encoder so I can try power tapping.
