Question: do you even need a touchscreen or can we use a laptop (with touchscreen capability) to connect to the CNC?
We are thinking we could use a laptop for creating the designs and then directly plug it in to the CNC. If we do this, I don’t see the need for an additional touchscreen, correct?
Technically you can after it is configured on your network. You can use a mouse, keyboard, standard monitor or TV with hdmi for that config. You then are accessing it via the we page on your laptop. Honestly I would want a touchscreen as it makes any troubleshooting easier.
I used the credit to buy a 21" smart tv ($120) and wireless keyboard and mouse combo ($21). Works like a charm, plus I can stream movies or music to it. It also connects to my home’s Alexa setup.
I purchased the ASUS 15 inch screen and stand. It was easy to install and came up without a hitch.
My fingers tremble and my eyesight is not the best but this new monitor solves all my problems. I couldn’t be happier
Not sure why ANY quality touch screen monitor would not work as long as it has USB, HDMI. Has anyone in the forum tried one that DIDN’T work? Seems like several options out there, everyone is out of the Asus VT 229H 21" .
