With my laptop done, I am looking for a way to run my Taz3. I had tossed the idea of getting one of those touch screen computers. Maybe a 20" or so. I am wondering if anyone else has done this and how do you find it when you need to enter numbers into Slic3r and such? It is more of a hastle than it is worth?
I just want something simple for control over the printer. This will also include internet access, sd card compatible, and pronterface/slic3r/simplify3d compatible. Some typing for numbers and letters will take place
I run my Kittaz using my old surface pro 1. If you are running windows 8 an on-screen keyboard pops up when you click a text entry field. You can dismiss it with a little X on the top right corner. It works as well as using a PC with a mouse, although you have to be careful about some of your touches. This is especially noticeable when you are trying to slide something (e.g temp)
All Windows versions include a touch screen keyboard for many years. The issue is that with desktop applications it may not auto show when an edit box gets focus. In the tray there should be a keyboard icon that will show and hide the on screen keyboard if it doesn’t.
