Agree that this could be only my machine. Thing is, this PC was bought brand new specifically for this, so it's a clean install on a clean machine. There are no firewalls and disc encryption is not used. Nothing else runs while CNC12 is operated. I should add that this wasn't noticeable on v5.04. Also, everything other than this appears to be operating properly, so the PC is not falling behind. To rule out potential excuses, I'll run the PC performance app.
Are you able to check your USB settings in Device Manger to make sure they are not in power saving mode?

Can you utilize another USB port for your touch screen to troubleshoot/isolate the issue?

I'm using a Beelink SEi10 Mini PC, Intel i5-1035G7. which is what Clough42 uses on his setup. I'll double check power savings, but remember disabling just about everything. The panel interface uses both an HDMI and USB port, so I'll check the latter.

are you using a third party touch screen setup app?
any anti virus software on the PC?

thanks, looking at those items i would venture to surmise it is the touch screen that is the source of your issue. so my first move would be to swap out to a different touch screen.

I like this one which is resistive type which works great in dirty environments.

This is an expensive test. I found a similar unit on Amazon, making it easier to return if it doesn't correct the issue. Unfortunately a side effect is no longer having the budget for an MPG...

To me, it seems like your touchscreen might just have an unusually long debounce timer or pressure threshold to distinguish short taps to simply move the cursor to that position and longer taps to confirm a button click. If you slow down your video you can see that for the first tap, the tool check button outlines in white (vcp white outline activates "on hover") and the cursor moves to it, but on the second click, the outline changes to black signaling a confirmation of the click.

Hmm, okay, thanks for the explanation. Fingers crossed on the replacement monitor.

Looking at the link that is a pressure sensitive touch screen. The amount of force changes the action performed. For industrial applications that are based on on/off functions this is not desirable. It is possible you can disable the force application so that any touch is just a touch like a normal touchscreen.

Did you opt for a single touch resistive (good) or a multi touch capacitive (problematic)?

I have this one as second monitor on my CNCs



Sometimes I use it with the VCP and no problems.
