I haven't fully got my head around how you can be 'unitless'. Is the idea that once I've input the number of steps required to move one of my chosen unit (mm, micron, yard, cubit) the software simply treats that many steps as one 'unit'?

It's not unitless, when you installed the software it asked you the CV Profile to use "metric" or "imperial". By default, it's set to metric so maybe you didn't see it.

Thanks Dean. I did wonder if it might have been an installation option I'd forgotten about. It's quite a while since I loaded the demo version and the old brain isn't quite what it was.

Do you know if anyone has written any modified skins for UCCNC? The default layout is a bit of an odd resolution and the manual says it is completely reconfigurable. That might be something to look at AFTER I have it all up and running. You could have a JAZZCNC special edition screen layout!

Working on it Kit, the screen is very easy to edit actually, much easier than mach3 and Linux.

If you check the forum there are several screens available and the development version uses a completely different layout and colour scheme, though I'm not a fan of it.
Don't be afraid to use the development version it's rock-solid stable provided your PC is a decent spec.

Duhhhh! If I had a brain I'd have been all over the forum weeks ago.

I've got most of the machine configuration set up now and have started ripping out the old hardware to replace with the new. Fingers crossed it's just a drop-in replacement that works even better than before.
