      Take a quick look at the work coordinate selector built into ChiliPeppr.:

      http://chilipeppr.com/tinyg

      When not connected to a controller board, it WILL show the coordinate selector, it will not show the axis DROs for work and machine.

      I like the coordinate selector. Play with the + and - buttons, click on a level and see it highlight, etc. Source for it is here: http://github.com/chilipeppr/widget-wcs Javascript/HTML5, so easy to grab chunks and reuse them in browser based apps.

      Actually, I like the DRO style display as well, but I will need to be connected to a board to show you a screen shot.

        Thanks for the info, their system is pretty nice! I like their graphics to see which layer you are on.

        Mine is simply just a drop down list which allows you to select which one. On one of the settings page i am hoping to add a panel where you can see the work zero for each system in machine coordinates, edit them, and give each system a custom name, which will then show in the drop down instead of the number.

          Nice screenshot.

          One suggestion: Make Work v Machine visually different. Larger/smaller, different colors, etc. It is fairly standard to make Work larger/bolder/brighter.

              IF we are making suggestions here; this is mine. I do a lot of manual jogging when making PCB's etc. The ESP3D derived jog control panel on my esp32 based controllers webUI is excellent; heartily recommended, very intuitive to use.

              The blue buttons at the right are Macros, the little buttons beside the machine position are for zeroing individual or all axes. Per-axis homing is also supported and has proved handy on occasions.
              Not shown is how each concentric ring is a different amount; and a clear animation hilights exactly what you are about to click on, and what it does.

              This is slightly out of date; the latest version shows machine as well as workspace position, I like having the macro editor right there in the panel too.
              I just switched to using this after using the jog controls in LaserWeb a lot; those are similar layout to the Duet WebUI, easier to mis-click, I do have some foundation for preferring the bullseye approach.

                @EasyTarget Thanks for the suggestions, i will take them all on board. I have had a few other people prefer the bullseye approach to jogging as well. I have stuck with the current Duet Web Control jogging in our control to speed up production. But definitely something for the future. I have also got a lot of request for keyboard jogging.

                  Listen to those requests! It's something on my wish-list too.

                      When Adrian Bowyer was developing the first firmware for the Duet, I tried to get him to put a bullseye similar to Pronterface's into RepRapFirmware, to make it easier for people transitioning from Pronterface! Never happened...
