Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Touch Screen Moniters with Flashcut?

Patrick,

I use a touchscreen with my router/engraving machine. Since I don't use
coolant, it works fine. I wrote my own interface for EMC with big buttons
and sliders for easy touching and it works pretty good. I had originally
planned on giving it to anyone who wants a copy, but I never really finished
it. I don't use tool length compensation, or some other features, so they
never made it into the interface. Since I'm not a very good programmer, I
get frustrated when it takes me 4 hours to get some little function working
that should take me only 10 min. It works at 640X480 resolution, and if
anyone wants a coy of a 1/2 finished but working EMC GUI, let me know off
list and I'll send it along.

Bill
