1) I think it would be useful to have presets for the axes too. For example:

3) Reading the contents of the ini file seems excessive to me. Before this, I simply thought I had the option to edit the INI file directly from stepconf, just like I do with HALUI command. You could add a page where you simply write text under the various sessions:
It seems to me that Stepconf is already ready. Please maintain compatibility with python3.5
Users need a few big buttons to press on their touch screens. Stepconf in this is very poor.
5) Uhmm, yes, in the case of the touch, just check that the user has added the PIN "Probe IN" and put conservative default values on the axes. I have destroyed several drill even without the stepconf functions :laugh:
