Done and done  

You're going to love me for this next thought though    

Possibly the running time should include hours instead of just minutes and seconds?

I've been running a test for over an hour now (1:22:31 seconds in Mach 3) and noticed it only says 22:31 on the LCD which might be misleading to someone thinking it was only 22:31 to run the job if they weren't watching closely?

Just a thought

Thanks Colton, is that the latest plug-in posted?

Brett

Hi, Brett,

It isn't, the latest Rev is LCDDRo11a, but I will let it up to Colton to let me know if he'd like me to replace the previous version in his first post in this thread.

Colton, maybe it would be good to add the other features that you now show in the DRO in your text file? (mostly for idiots like my self that don't fully test things when we should     )

Thanks,
Dave

Ah yes! I loaded a code up and away she went 

Thanks so much, what a nice/handy little plugin you have made.

After choosing the circular pocket option from Newfangled Wizards menu, under "Tool Properties" which is the first page to input data, there is a choice right next to "Tool Unit" of Millimeters or Inches.

Good morning, Colton,

The Estop works correctly now thank you.

There are other characters showing ( zero on the top line to right on top line, and "00:00" to right on second line) so are these possibly for future use?

In any case, it works very nicely, thank you-
Dave

Hi, Colton,

Unfortunately something has changed this time around.

Please see the picture of how the format is looking as there's an extra set of zeros and the Z axis has no Letter designation.

Thanks,
Dave

Ask and you shall recieve. Here's an updated version of the plugin. Has the ESTOP change already and it was simple to change the format of the display to 4 digits. I would have edited my original post, but I don't see that option anywhere.

I have edited your original post to reflect the updated file for you.

Hi, Colten,

Ok, tried out the plugin a bit today and it is indeed smoother and faster than the macropump. I do agree that if you could put the estop message to the right side of one of the lines, that would be nice instead of the whole screen black except for the estop message. Not a big deal, just agreeing with you.

Just because you asked if there was anything we might like to be different, I would like 4 places after the decimal point as I use "inches".

Will try some more testing down the road on an actual running machine but I'm swamped here right now.

It's really seems to be a nice plugin and I for one, appreciate it-
Dave
