I'm impressed - even on the UI side stuff is appearing which doesnt cause eyeburn ;)

I'm currently busy with LinuxCNC gastro-intestinal work but really looking forward installing this!

Good work, Chris

What size touch screens are you working with?

Is the keyboard embeeded when selecting an input area of does it only work from the "launch keyboard" button?

I use a 17" touch screen to test with. I do most of the development on a non touch laptop.

The keyboard launches when you press the 'launch keyboard' button.
The calculator launches when you touch the entry button (Top right )

This could be changed. broader testing will reveal what is needed.

Development will stop shortly for holiday to UK -

Thanks for the continued work Chris.

While you are on holidays I guess I will force myself to do some testing for you :)

Enjoy your holiday.

Jayson.

Is there a non programers way to run this? I would also like to get this set up. According to the wiki all I need to do is run make a new INI file DISPLAY = gscreen.

thanks guys I'll be around for a couple more days...

tjamscad you must download the 'master' version of linuxcnc. The easiest way is probably the buildbot see here: buildbot.linuxcnc.org/

then you can test Gscreen using the sample configurations they are under sim/gscreen or sim/gscreen_custom (you'll find the list when you start linuxcnc)

If you want to try the exact screen I have been showing pics of the you need download a couple files and add then to the config folder...
I will zip them up .....

here are the custom Gscreen files. unzip the folder and place the _individual_ files in the sim/gscreen_custom folder.
