Yes I understand that opening and closing the control for every pixel change is a bit daunting, however it's a simple matter once you get used to it. Also there are only three controls on the screen that this has to be done to, the Main screen background (If you change the default settings, normally you do not), the G-code display and the Axis readouts, all other controls can be dragged and positioned with the right mouse button. Learning the little shortcuts makes things go faster. |
I did not miss Bob's comment.. My brain buffer was full and it didnt register..
Are you kidding?? If you only knew how many times I go back to the same threads I create and re-read the information I was given..
Those little shortcuts are starting to become apparent and useful.
I just have to get used to it.. When I finally get it right, I'll post some screen shots to show everyone.. I think I know what I am going to be doing for the next week..
Does anyone have an example of writing to a text file and getting information back from it ?? FILEWRITE, FILEREAD etc. etc.? I am having some difficulty figuring out the syntax an command order to use this feature.
What i am doing is learning all the functions first so I have a complete "tool box" to work with.
Thanks again for all the help...
