that will do, it will be good as a nob screen, just sim program run time needs to be added.

Stop to include spindle and coolant stop and go to a safe Z position. option only at user`s risk

 Go To Work Zero to include Z moves or not  thats easy the code`s there Z5/n X0 Y0 A0

or call it Work Safe Z Zero thats what I do

there is a we trick you can do with touch screens glue a tiny magnet to ya finger nail then it only needs a gentle touch to trigger the screen what ever, its the same as a stylus

Laser Zero and out put what ever the laser is connected to on/off, I have a X, Y zeroing laser what I use for zeroing X, Y and for calibration I have the code for that already.

what you are setting the start button to do will be good for nobs and yes MDI good idea keep that will be good for testing.

can a simulate program run time be added

BR549 is correct about color I cant see if something is high lighter yellow if I wear a highvis that`s  high lighter yellow I cant see very well.


Chaoticone yep but what I wont a lot of other would like, done the time to move up, you screen yes with a few more buttons tool hight, laser zero how the MDI and Gcode is done on other screen.

its just the first screen what need`s to only have what is needed on it, all the day to day run stuff the diag, probeing, offset, all can be on another page.

it would be hard to get right I might just chop and change a page to show what I would like on a first page what you have done is close.

I think if we all did a ruff draft of how you would like a first page to be the day to day screen that would help more.

and the more experienced boys than me should drive what it should look like they have been there done that for sometime so I think there idea`s are good I cant disagree with them I know they are correct

sounds good BR549, I am moving to a pokeys so I will have buttons for stuff. A mouse can become dangerous, I put mine out of the way but bad thing`s have happened, there just needs to be 3 stock screens nob, key/ button select, touch screen everyone else can do there own screen just keep it simple.
