well, needed to do some machining... Updated to the latest Master branch in buildbot2 a couple days ago.
when running, I really like to see both the current position and distance to go (DTG) displayed simultaneously.
the display doesn't do that, at least not stock out of the box.
can it?  axis sure does.
How can it be made to?   hopefully not customizing anything....I've worked hard getting away from that...

Also, what is MPG Scroll do????

see the picture....

You can use an MPG to scroll the gcode graphics and gcode editor and other widgets.
Set the button, touch the widget, the border should change, then it will scroll

You can check it out with the QtDragon_lathe sim
