Camera mode
Being in camera mode allows you to control the CNC machine to be controlled, and gives a cross-hairs for where the camera is looking - this is NOT where it'll be drilling.
The icons to the right (a few are currently greyed out) are as follows:
- Blue single arrows - these move the board in the X/Y plane 0.1mm
- Blue double arrows - these move the board in the X/Y plane 1mm
- Red up/down arrows - these move the drill up and down 1mm
- Stop icon (top) - this doesn't do anything yet, but should be an emergency stop
- Play button (in the middle) - this will start drilling with the current orientation
- Target icon (bottom left) - this is used to indicate that a target has been reached
- Hole-punch (next to target) - this is used to do a test drill for alignment purposes
- Gear icon (bottom right) - this will be the settings menu, although it doesn't do anything visible yet
The arrows can have key modifiers assigned to them:
- Pressing shift whilst clicking on them moves the points 10 times as much as selected
- Pressing control whilst clicking on them moves the points 1/10th of the amount
- Pressing alt whilst clicking on them moves the points 2.54 times the amount (the idea being that it is an 'alternative' measuring system'
The key combinations are cumulative, which means that pressing Shift+Control on the double arrows will move the board 25.4mm
