Tom,
I use Panasonic toughbooks and Win XP on my machines. The buttons all work correct with the original screens, they were just too small. The Kflop/Kanalog/AMC combo is proving to be very bullet proof. My goal is to hide Windows in the background as much as possible, and make KmotionCNC feel like a dedicated controller. Moving the jog buttons to the top right makes them easier to use because you can rest your hand on top of the screen and use your thumb on the buttons ( very stable ). Moving the E-stop to the bottom right lets you grab the side of the screen and keep your thumb over the button without hiding the rest of the screen with your right arm. On a touch screen there are no raised buttons to feel, so it is important that you can hold the edge of the screen to guide your thumb when you are watching the tooling instead of the screen.

Yes I can provide the .rc, but there were also changes in the KmoitionCNCDlg.cpp, to adjust jog speeds and dro labels ( these changes could be left out ).

The % in the tool setup sounds like a good option.

No I have not created a work ofset screen, my plan was to check if something was already in the works.

Looks nice but:

Why four place decimal on A & B axis?

Why decimals at all on tool numbers?

Hi,
4 decimals on A & B because I have high resolution encoders on those axis ( 20,000 counts per motor rev, or over 6000 counts per degree ).

The decimal should probably be left off the tool number, but I like to look at it and make sure I didn't leave the tool tray between full counts when jogging/loading the tray

vvv - This gould have read KflopWebNC.exe, not KmotionCNC.net - vvv

2 - A work offset table in the Edit tool file screen, like KmotionCNC.net uses.
