A Widescreen Blender-Style Interface

Nice one, Chris !

Chris, I just gave your Brender (Brenda + Blender ) clone a spin, very nice indeed!

Cheers,
Kurt

Cmorley, looks awesome!!! Looking forward to seeing more!!

* Updated the Large Jog control panel for individualized Jog distances.

The large jog would be activated by clicking on the small button near the small jog.

Adding the individualized Jog distance controls would allow the user much easier semi-manual milling, for operations where the other axis are dimensionless, such as during facing operations and stock squaring.

The user would often set the z and y to continuous, and then set the z for the step-down. Okay, 10mm is a little much for DOC : )

I wish I had this on Axis a few weeks ago. I wonder if I can make a surface grinder attachment for my mill : O

I am sorry about the lack of updates last week.

I wonder how useful and practical that is with a touch interface?

I tend to MPG jog to Z height, then do the feed moves with MDI. Then I don't have to watch (and don't need to keep my finger pressed to a touch-screen)
MDI moves can be queued, so yesterday I typed:
M3 S600
G1 F50 Y50
X32
Y-60
X45
Z-8
Y50
X32
Y-60

Then turned round to use the lathe

Send complementary MPG jog to...

: )

For each pass, without these kind of controls the user would need to:

• Mill off the top of the surface.
• Set jog size
• Step down
• Set to continuous again

I know.
In the design, I've included a more-or-less copy of Axis's MDI, though, I would not want to rist a typo. Yes, I left that in there on purpose, but no, it was a real mistake.
