View Poll Results: Would a physical FRO knob be better than controlling the FRO slider with a mouse?

Voters

  • Yes, a physical knob you could hold on to while watching the tool and part would be better

    6 100.00%
  • No, Id rather have to look at the screen instead, make sure the cursor is over the slider, etc

    Tormach using two function run continuous for update UI. You can find them at mill ui or lathe.py

    I can't public more details becase it must modify pathpilot code, what i'm asked but no one answer it with same reason.

    Dang…. 6 years later. Looks like TOT took a liking to my 3-axis MPG concept eh?? he’s a smart dude I’m sure it’s more likely that geniuses think alike LOL.
