New Screen design for Mach3 (Video)

[ynneb]

What do you think of this sort of screen for mach3. Its designed for touch screens. You dont need a mouse or a keyboard for this one. Note the on screen keypad that pops up. I will make sure the guy who made this screen will drop in and answer any of your questions.

EDIT: You can test it out online if you want.

Obviously its a simulation but the navigation works.

Benny, you are a genius.
These screens are brilliant.
Hopefully I will get some time to learn flash

Wow, that looks really nice.

What resolution screen was this designed for - how would you expect it to go on a small 6-7" widescreen (800 x 480) such as those designed for car pc's? I have one of these, have tried it with the simple 3 axis screen set and it goes ok, but this one looks more comprehensive. Some of the tabs look big and clear, others might be a bit busy for the small screen. It would be good to ensure lots of contrast between text/background - a lot of touch screens aren't that bright.

Another idea that has aroused my interest is controlling mach3 via an iPod touch. I've been viewing/controlling my mac with the iPod with VNC, hoping to try it with mach3 soon. My reason for mentioning this was that a touchscreen interface like this but suited to the low res ipod would really facilitate this.

Looking forward to hearing about availability!

Regards,

Jason

Its not made for a resolution, its scales to any size. Obviously the smaller it scales to, the harder it is to read text etc. 6-7 inch is pushing it a bit. You would need a pen to activate the buttons. I know Jason has lots of other screens, maybe there is one that suits smaller monitors better. I have given him the link to this thread, so I expect some input soon.

Benny, any idea on the ETA of the new Flash docs?

[ynneb]

Gerry I know Jason has recently resumed employment with Brian, I suspect the docs will be coming soon. As I have stopped doing stuff with Artsoft, I am no longer in the know.
I do know that Jason has put in months working on the code (Unpaid) so I am not sure how much will filter through. I expect basic codes for flash will be about the limit of it. Also working in flash has its own skills that we probably wont expect Artsoft to be documenting.
