Stepcraft Screenset with UI in mind

[johnsattuk]

I've always wanted a screenset which shows the minimum Z of a job on the main screen as this is the one thing I check before running every job. Not sure if this is just me, so I just thought I'd throw this out there.Roby

A really usefull idea, have just added it to my screenset, just copied the label from the Extents screen to the run screen.

I have modified Ger21's 2022 screen to suit my simple requirements ie:- onscreen jog panel, diagonal jogging, no ATC, 2 Park pos. , G54, G55 plenty for me. Don't be too harsh it's my first attempt.

The only thing I can say – do a plenty sketches and concepts and ui designs outside of the real program. That helps you to sort things out without the painful readjustments. It won't hurt you also that much if you need to move something here or there coz moving sprites in graphic program so much easier.
And also read the commetns here in the thread. There are color standards and good advises to follow when you place certain buttons, like start, stop, reset.. if I come to your machine and I need to stop it quick Ill be lost.. as it would hardly hit me that that logo is actually reset.

looking on the pdf manual there should be a way how to show this and other limiting dimensions in the 3D view, if I understand it right.

You can call the following buttons (buttons_by_number.htm):

784 Toggletoolpathdimensionsvisibility Toggles the dimensions drawings visibility in the toolpath view.
785 Toolpathdimensionsvisibilityon Switches on the dimensions drawings visibility in the toolpath view.
786 Toolpathdimensionsvisibilityoff Switches off the dimensions drawings visibility in the toolpath view.

784 is the button with the M right to the toolpath.

If you need to create your own buttons check out UCCNC/Flashscreen/BMP/Stepcraft_2046/ folder, you gonna find there bunch of _empty_...png spare clean buttons.

I still do not like how some buttons behave, will fix that on the go and post the update one day.
Until then..

It is a really nice HMI in my opinion. I like the colour scheme, very relaxing for the eyes, yet all buttons are easy to see and find.
