Mach3 TouchScreen Problem

[kNucklBustr]

I use a 15" LCD TouchScreen w/ Mach3.

Twice this has happened. While using the Mach3 Jog button, the axis will stay running after my finger is released.
I have a good idea its from oil leftover on the screen from my finger that the touchscreen is sensing.

Anyone have a similar problem and what to do about it ?

I have,

My touch screen is very sensitive to moisture & I use flood coolant, so ... I keep a towel hanging within convenient reach & have trained myself to dry the hands before touching the screen.

Initially I thought it was the mouse doing this.
There is no sensitivity adjustment on this ELO 1715L. And yes it is very sensitive to touch.

Ill try a phone screen protector on the jog button area.

After two incidents of the same nature, I removed my touch screen

I have a brand new Dell #2014 touch screen on my G0704 with Mach and I have come to the conclusion that a touch screen is just not suitable for crucial functions in Mach 3. I use the ts for quick data input, but I use either a imach pendant or a wireless keyboard for actual movement functions. The TS is just not reliable enough for crucial situations. As said above, the jog buttons sometimes stick from skin oil or they just don't activate true as they should. My advice is to save your money on a ts and buy a good pendant instead

Seems like the towel was a cheap solution that allowed you to have the best of both worlds.

Really like my touchscreen but I don't use it to jog or as said above, anything crucial. I use an XBox controller for jogging around.
And yeah, I keep a towel close by too.

Hi Guys

I have Mach3 running on a PC with a touchscreen. When I hit tab to bring up the jog screen, the arrows for jogging do not respond with touch - they only work with mouse clicks.

Any ideas?
