I think that would be really nice. I've got the idea but unfortunatly I am mising the programming skills.
But probably one of the developers likes the idea?

I think you might have to brush up on your programming skills... I don't think the developers even have a mouse!

The point here is that an iPad, iPhone, Kindle fire, or Android phone are all touch screen devices already: you do not need to purchase another device. Interestingly, an Android phone that is no longer in use as a phine (no simm card) is still usable as a WIFI device, so if you have upgraded to a new fancy phone, your old phone is a free resource. You almost certaily will want to use a dedicated WIFI hotspot and the proper security to prevent accidental or deliberate hijacking of you CNC machine.

It should be possible when you create a custom gladevcp panel and control this panel over remote desktop with your ipad
Ipad apps are Moccavnc, realvnc

I have been using my Ipod as a pendant for close to 2 years now. Great as I can change buttons around and do just about anything the Keyboard could do. The only Negative I have for it is I cannot use Constant Jogging. Im not a programmer but for some reason the button press on the Ipod is viewed as a quick single button press instead of a press and hold.

Some videos for proof.

Would you mind to explain me a bit more in detail how you did that?
Is there a software that you have to deploy on the same computer that you run EMC on?

Would you share the settings/profile that you use on your phone?
Best regards
