Rotary Table Project - Computer Controlled
#7
Made some more progress.  Finally got a usable display.  It's a 3.2" and is nice and fast on the Mega.  The only problem is that it required a different graphic library.  The good part, tho, is it's smaller and easier.

Next up is the stepper circuitry and the box.  I put the connector on the stepper this afternoon so that part's done.

A couple more pics...

The main screen, you've seen it before, sort of.

The keypad for entering data.  Also includes help text (that's so unlike me)!

And the Setup menu.  If Go Distance is set to anything but zero, it'll travel that distance every time GO is pressed on the main screen.  If Go Distance is zero, it'll go where the POS position is set to.  Jog Distance is how far it will travel forward or back when JOG+ or JOG- are pressed.  Set Home just sets the current position to 0.00.

That's it for now!
