you have a big selections of board`s you could use the Leonardo, Yún, what are good for mouse, keyboard sort of stuff plus everything else the analog pins on these can be used for your screen the digital pins can be used for all the other bits you wont the Micro is the small version of the 32u4 boards.

the Arduino Due will do all you wont but its a lower voltage.

if you don't mind waiting and saving money you can get the board and bits from here, http://imall.iteadstudio.com/ I get all my electronic stuff from here never had a bad component.

your options are endless

I think they did this with bits missing so people will learn a thing or two more than just copy and past code to its correct spot it`s not fun but I know how it was for you and ya bro to do now.

thanks for the help scott

I have played some more I add this into the Auto Tool Setting Macro from the manual

function GetRegister(regname)
      local rc;
      local inst = mc.mcGetInstance();
      local hreg = mc.mcRegGetHandle(inst, string.format("iRegs0/%s", regname));
      return mc.mcRegGetValueString(hreg);
   end

now the Get touch off parameters work but when it gets to the Check Probe part it fails it comes up with this
[string "C:\Mach4Hobby\Macros\m1005.mcs"]:48: wxLua: Expected a 'number' for parameter 2, but got a 'nil'.
Function called: 'mcSignalGetHandle(number, nil)'
01. mcSignalGetHandle(number, number, lightuserdata)
stack traceback:
   [C]: in function 'mcSignalGetHandle'
   [string "C:\Mach4Hobby\Macros\m1005.mcs"]:48: in function 'm1005'
   [string "C:\Mach4Hobby\Macros\m1005.mcs"]:109: in main chunk

I am running it in sim I have defind a probe input
