.it was surprisingly simple indeed! took a little 1.5 hours to tear the front of the monitor off (a little too aggressively in one corner), test fit the touch pad into the case and sand down the rim and cut a few tabs our of the way, put it together and load the cd. 1.5 hours from wrench to drawing... the mrs said "draw me something"
end result first:
nice box with wood reinforcement
set up to dremel
the honeywells are pretty impressive. I didn't realize the whole head can be released and turned as well as the arm.
also got the 15' video cable and a few other toys... I'll take a pic of my favorite when I get home
okay one moretakes a little too much pressure to draw with it on its stand, but when mounted to an arm it should be pretty good.
not sure which I'm more excited about... the touch screen or this
this process took about 60 seconds including taking pics the first time I have ever used it. I'm impressed... definitely found my "tool 1". its the Haimer 3D TASTER also available directly from tormach.
I will play with the touch screen a little more tomorrow because there are still small brackets pushing the face off the touch panel leaving a gap. I think I should be able to get rid of it, but there is obviously some wiggle room so I might get some glue backed weather stripping and seal it off.
Looks like you got her all nailed down, if you use a stylus it works better as its harder to keep an even pressure across something as blunt as a finger.
Nice touch off guage, how much?
Also I used double sided scotch tape to hold the panel in place before putting the bezel back on.

That was a pretty penny! I'd love one of those to death, but I'll be paying off my Set-Tru chuck for a while. I'll just have to drool over yours.Originally Posted by PriddyShiddy

CNC: Making incorrect parts and breaking stuff, faster and with greater precision.
the stylus is a good idea, and so is the tape. still have to draw the id of the bezel on the panel with dry erase and send my buddy a dxf so he can cut a seal in the laser. he has some adhesive backed 1/8" rubber sheet laying around I found this morning. his shop is like disneyland for me. :-) there are a few locating brackets in the bezel I need to remove too.
what did u mount your circuit in? I'm thinking small hobby box with stand offs adhered to the back of the monitor.
the Taster only cost $250 shipped! I found an old post on PM I think of a guy saying he had 11. when I emailed him last week he still had 2 left including mine. let me know if you want his email and I'll pm you.
it already has a 3/4" shaft so it only needs a TTS collar and a few spare tips
Could you not find space for the circuit board inside the monitor? I just drilled a hole in the back and ran the USB cable out through that. If I'd been feeing really clever I'd have mounted a USB socket on the monitor.
Having said that I gave up trying to modify my case to get it to closed, I was using a 19inch Samsung and the buttons on the monitor bezel interfered with any modification I could see to make space in the case. Instead a copped out, placed the too halves together and covered the gap with a ring of black electrical tape. There is minimal stress on the tape, since it's doing is holding on the bezel, and the only other option I could see was making a spacer.
Mine are mounted on the inside of the panel and the cord exits with the vga or power cord, I just used some very short standoffs

I guess I'll try pulling the back off and see if there is any room but it looked tight from the outside.
picking up a Dell 3.2ghz, 1G ram on the way home from the place I get the monitors for $100 with warranty and XP. Wife says 3 more boxes arrived today too.
received more boxes of various goods. nothing notable, just keyboard, mice, wires, extension cables for usb, monitor etc.
one interesting package was that the 2 $20 casters I ordered showed up... still waiting on the much more expensive disaster casters I ordered before them. VERY nice casters.
now the bad.. spent 2 hours fitting the circuit board into the back by drilling two holes and let the drill pop through to far and hit something important.
didn't realize this for another hour of putting everything back together. fired it up and the screen will cut on for 2 seconds then go black . if I cycle through modes from digital to analog it comes back... for 2 seconds. scrapped that monitor for now (glad I bought 3) and started prepping the second. this one didn't even have enough room for the ribbon to pass to the rear so its going into a project box on the outside.
I did pick up my new pc tonight too, and loaded mach3.
downloaded the screenset and losses and got this
wtf. I copied and pasted from the thumb drive inside the zipped file and this is what I got. so I deleted both files, unzipped the files to the hard drive and copied and pasted again... same thing. any ideas?
I get the same thing from that screen set, my guess is there is an incompatability with the current version of Mach.
