Touchy MDI was created by bednarzmac
Hi, i'm quite new into LinuxCnc world and I cant understand how MDI mode works in Touchy GUI. Where is command line? How can I write command made of some gcodes like  G90 G54 G1 X30 Y30 F1000 ??? In Axis there is command line but how it works in Touchy? Only one code at a time (cycle start)?

Regards Maciek

You could create some macros for common things.

I actually like the Touchy MDI. I think that it is a good fit for a touchscreen. And it also prompts you with all the right axis letters when you start a command.

I've made a screen with an MDI history widget stacked under an MDI Touchy widget. a button will switch between showing each - best of both worlds.

Ah, yes, I keep intending to add command history to Touchy. But it never gets to the top of the list.
