      I miss having the Macro's on the front screen. In particular I miss having quick access to "probe z" and "probe xyz". I use my touchplate a lot when setting up jobs. Having said that, overall it is a HUGE improvement over the 3d Printer centric view of the world. I've got a Duet2 on my 3DP and a Duet3 with SBC on my CNC. And I love the board. But working with my 3DP is just different than the CNC. So this is a huge help.

        @N7JTI Macros make total sense. I’ll need to see where I can work them in.

                This is great! Thank you! Will this CNC screen format work on a 7i Panel Due?

                        If any of you happen to be using my Gamepad Jogger plugin with the CNC build I have a new version which allows you to bind keyboard keys to commands as well.

                          Ooh, nice! I've been itching to put together a CNC pendant design that could take advantage of this.

                            @Sindarius These changes/plugins are just great.

                            I've got a request for the Jog page plugin.

                            Having home buttons imho makes little sense there. I maybe home once per day and in normal use if I hit home it's an at-best time-wasting mistake. Plus, I can already do it in the dashboard.

                            Instead, I'd love it if we had a speed readout/control. Maybe it could have options like Travel, Feed, 20, 40, 60, 80 (mm/sec)?

                            For the dashboard: I like to go to work 0,0 a lot, but rarely 0,0,0 - for whatever that's worth. My work Z=0 is usually the top of the workpiece, sometimes the top of the bed.

                            Thanks again for all the work.

                              On the jog control plugin I can look at adding a "go to work 0" button. I'll look into adding travel speed as a set of buttons like the distance that is on there. I have a couple ideas I plan to play with on the jog control but was looking forward to some feedback and ideas.

                                  @tntjet You can download the plugin from my GitHub page
                                  https://github.com/Sindarius/DWC_GamepadJogger_Plugin/releases

                                  To install it take the zip file from the release and upload it using Files > System.

                                  Once the plugin is installed activate it by going to the "Machine Specific" page Plugins tab and start it.

                                  The latest version has the keyboard jogging setup.

                                    Which protocol/standards are you planning to support -> USB and or D-Sub-9 ?

                                      @LB the gamepad jogger just picks up whatever gamepads it sees. Usb and bluetooth if available.

                                          @Sindarius Some more spontaneous feedback... since I'm just starting to use this.

                                          1. The g-code viewer is just the coolest feature ever on my CNC.

                                          2. I really like the gamepad jogger but
                                            a) I had a small panic attack when I mapped Z today. My normal Z movement is much much smaller than X,Y and the auto-queued 'down' push at 50mm was scary - luckily I had no bit in the head. Having a separate Z distance would be very nice.
                                            b) The feel when holding down a move key is great (the cnc just starts moving at speed) but because it's queueing up keystrokes when I release the button it keeps moving for some indeterminate number of steps.

                                          by the way - I hacked the plugin to add a 25.4 distance option for something I needed to do in inches and it saved me hours of typing g codes and manually adding 3 digit numbers. Sweet!

                                          1. The most important statistic in the G-code for a job for me is the surround box. It tells me if I did something stupid in the modeler like set the wrong origin for the material. Since you're already scanning the gcode is there some way in the viewer to quick-see the box values?

                                          Thanks again. This stuff rocks.

                                            @markz glad you are enjoying the viewer!

                                            It is funny you mention independent Z movement values, I had a similar experience with Openbuilds Control on my cnc some time back. I modded that software to add an independent z step because I managed to drive a v bit into my workpiece. I’ll look at making that an optional z step toggle in my gamepad jogger.

                                            Because it is queueing gcode it does sometimes overshoot a step or two if you hold the stick down. I need to play with the timing more to avoid stuttering and not overshoot too much.

                                            I can certainly look at adding some simple metrics to the 3D viewer in 3.3 or later. The first priority was getting all the gcode to render properly.

                                            Appreciate the feedback!
