As title says, again need to load a file without using explorer, which requires too many tab button pressings.

Screen designer tips and tutorials / Using cursors

« on: June 30, 2011, 04:40:22 PM »

Hi

I have another mouseless query.
How can you send a cursor to a dro or input box?
For instance when clicking on a button to change screens, now there are some dro's but using the cursor buttons doesn't do anything until I've clicked on the dro's after that it will tab between them, but I need to do this without a mouse?

General Mach Discussion / Run Mach in full screen

« on: June 06, 2011, 07:10:59 AM »

In case anyone is interested, here is a little app that will hide the Mach3 windows border, if you further hide the system menu you can have your screen in 100% border-less full-screen mode.
You can run it from anywhere, but Mach must be running already for it to work.

Is there another way to reset, when I use OEM 1021 and click reset the message: "Estop button pressed" is there another OEM code that simply resets (program, error messages etc) without being tied to E-Stop?

Mach Screens / "sending" gcode to mdi

« on: April 20, 2011, 06:24:03 AM »

Hi

Is it possible to "send" g-code to mdi instead of executing. So if I assign G0 to a button and M3 to another button and S1000 to another, can these be used to send G0 S1000 M3 to mdi for execution?

Works in progress / Looking for a partner in crime...

« on: April 04, 2011, 05:08:25 PM »

Hi

I've looked at a lot of the screens, but they don't seem to be too familiar for us older guys who are used to the industrial style...
Anyway I've created a skin and am busy building the interface, curious if there is someone that's willing to give me their email details to answer questions as the arise about how to implement something... I'm more than happy to to do the work but it helps if there is someone that can point one in the right direction rapidly...

Oh and here is a bit lower resolution of the interface, the idea is ro use a 22" 1650x1050 touch screen in portrait mode. No keyboard, no mouse, I want to stay as close to industrial control style as possible. Any advise appreciated.
