Looks good Hood, glad to see you building one.  That fella in the demo is just showing off.

I know you can put the sheets where you want them (with one arm) but would think a button to set the alignment would be real handy. What size is the table?

Shew, been a long time since I messed with keygrabber. I'd prefer one of the gamepad plugins myself but doubt they will work with your setup.

Open the screen in Klaus's MachScreen and have a look at the buttons that perform the functions you want and see if they have a hotkey assigned already. If not assign them a hotkey but before you do .....  look at the Hotkeys view. You can sort by columns like any other spreadsheet. Make sure you are not assigning keys that are already assigned to something else. Would be kind of bad if you assigned the same hotkey for zero X as cycle start uses. You can get yourself into a real mess with hotkeys so be careful.

I forgot to add I gave him the Gcode as well, but he would not try and run it.

Try not to get discouraged.

That looks exactly like the problem I had which turned out to be backlash, have you checked X for backlash with a DTI?

I have to agree. If it isn't backlash and/or flex I would be

I'm there with you RC. Lots of questions and prefer to get my answers from those I know instead of the salesmen I don't know. Thanks Gerry!

I despise the thoughts of the cloud too TP but will have to see where it all goes I guess. The only thing more consistent than gravity is change.

You can of course. But industrial users should never trail the home edition. Its a control, not a PC.

I guess I shouldn't say I'm in love so I won't.
