Touchy GUI - Where to find further documentation

Hi all,

I've been running LinuxCNC on a router for a few years using the AXIS GUI and it does what I want. Just for chuckles, last week I installed a 17" touchscreen and set up the Touchy GUI and associated Start/SingleBlock/Abort buttons and MPG.

The change from AXIS to TOUCHY is not too bad, but I can't seem to find any way to do things which I did in AXIS, like changing offsets, and touching off tools. I've had a look at the LinuxCNC User and Integrator Manuals, and trawled the web, but the information on the TOUCHY interface is pretty sparse.

I would be thankful if someone could point me to some more reference material on the day-to-day use of Touchy?

Cheers, Steve

Thanks John,

I'll have to have another fiddle next weekend.

cheers,

Steve

Thanks again for the tip John. Touchy is working fine. Although, on the MDI page, what are the variables 'Q' and 'R' for? I had a fiddle with them, but only managed an error message of two.

Cheers,

Steve

Working from memory here, but I went to the MDI tab, selected 'Set Origin' and down the left side of the screen (in a vertical row) X, Y, Z, G, and R were accessible. Changing X Y or Z and pressing Start changed the G54 values. Changing a Q value and pressing Start did nothing. Doing the same to R produced a little error message about something being outside of the expected something of the other. (I half expected R to allow me to rotate the axis so many degrees.)

Just for information, I am using 2.5.3 configured with PnCConf.

Cheers,

Steve
