Hello,
i have a BF20VL that i'm converting. Already purchased Teknic servos, Acorn controller, the wireless remote controller and the CNC12 Mill Pro license. Based in Thailand.
Now i'm trying to configure a PC with touchscreen. And have a few questions. Pardon me if they have been answered already somewhere in the forum, it's all a little overwhelming to collect all the info needed while making sure the recommended hardware is still available. Questions i have:
Thank you very much, happy to have this forum as support.
EDIT: Just been reading "Each Acorn Software License is specific to a single Acorn board", does it mean i can buy another license and then have the ability to switch the software to another Acorn board?
EDIT2: Found this screen, is this recommendable? ASUS MONITOR VT229H (IPS Touch), it is locally available, seem to tick all the boxes but been reading in this forum that "10 point touch" can be buggy https://www.asus.com/Displays-Desktops/ ... ch/VT229H/
EDIT3: Would an i3 14 inch laptop with touchscreen be of much use? It has enough single core power in the benchmark list

- What screen size should i pick? I would like to keep it compact next to the machine, but would also not go smaller than what is usable. My eye sight is still okay Was thinking 18-20 inch, is that okay?
- Can anyone recommend a touchscreen from some well known brand that works well and is currently sold? This makes it more likely that i can find a local source for this without going through the pain of self importing.
- I would like to use a mini PC for this. Easy to find but they all have Windows 11 pre installed, not Windows 10. Any issues?
- Lastly is it possible to run a second machine from the same computer? Would eventually like to add a router to my workshop and would consider this when i decide where best to place the screen
