Any movement on the breakout board specs/pics

On a totaly different note, I was in Bangalore about 40yrs ago, sitting in a stationay car because of a torrential rainstorm, the likes of which I had not seen before or since 😀

@sandeep Ramisetty Hi, I am still willing to investigate some more, I am not quite finished buildng my control panel yet and if a Licence unlocks some features to lure me. I think it's complex because it does so many things, I only want t run Gcode. I know that your software did not run Gcode origionally and that you have added it on since, and I have read similar comments on MYCNCUK I did like the software and the Pi 400 solution but I always seemed to be looking for the homing button or workpiece zeros, and there were so many buttons to choose from, as I said I would prefer to use other software on another M/C to generate Gcode, perhaps more time would help, been running other systems for several years. I run a benchtop mill using PlanetCNC software/boards and a router at a men's shed using Estlcam. I installed Estlcam on the router because of it's very simple GUI which made it easy to teach ex salesmen/vicars/nontech people how to use it, perhaps worth a look so you can sse what I mean Best Regards John

@sandeep Ramisetty The software runs very nicely on a Pi 400, a higher resolution screen cures the above problems. I have had a play with the program for a couple of days and decided it is not for me, I want a program that just runs the router when loaded with Gcode, I much prefer to do all the fancy stuff on another computer using programs of my choice. I use and like "Estlcam" on a router at the moment, but liked the idea of the compact solution of the Pi 400 and the linux OS. You have developed a very complex program and I wish you a lot of success with it, but I think most hobbists will find it a bit daunting. All the best Regards John

Will your bteakout board also supply 0-10Volt for the VFD

@sandeep Ramisetty OK, will have a play later, the Pi boots up and fills the screen properly, it is just your program that does not fill the screen

Have been having a little play with the software, seems it has been writen for a 4x3 aspect screen. I am not familiar with linux and could not find a way to adjust to my 16x9. I lose the bottom of the image and have space at the sides. ☹️

Thanks, I have already ordered a Pi4 before I came across the 400, it seems a good solution with the built in keyboard. I will have a play with the Pi4 and if I decide to use it on my router I will get a 400. I do like the look of the software, will see how it goes

Will this run on a Raspberry Pi 400

Thank you, I think this indicates that you are still working on this, 😉 I can buy a breakout board with terminals and led indicators for £15 But a board with :- 24 volt IO Screw terminals grouped according to purpose ie: axis, inputs, outputs, led indicators would be very desirable and worth the extra cost and time 😀

Hi Thanks for reply, I am interested in the Pi breakout board but would like to know more details first
