Touch screen, compact... not too expensive.

Anyone have any bot suitability information?

The Atom is a pretty slow processor/chipset though since it is designed for low power consumption.

I run my bot from a refurbished off lease Dell with a 3ghz P4 which cost under 150 dollars with a licensed copy of XP Pro. The only thing I did was add a USB 2.0 card. So far its been stable and I have never had it crash.

I bought a cheap 20" LCD for about $120.00 as well.

I think it would be fast enough but you still need a keyboard so a touch screen may be pointless.

I thought some of you might be amused by my computer setup.

The key bd is a membrane style adhered to the desktop and the computer is "Bare". I've ruined two laptops with dust getting where I couldn't set it out. At the end of the day I take compressed air after the naked computer. No more problems.

The touch screen is the point. I used on on the Buddy at the IWF in 2008. It worked well. Still need a kb at some point but it is tucked away the majority of the time.

Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong in the photo attachment script above?

Thanks

depending on the size of your upload that might be your problem. Maybe the deminsions or size is too big. What format pic is it? jpeg, ect?

How do you type in commands? is there a screen keyboard? I hit pause too much to try to hit a key on screen. I only use a mouse to select the file I will run.

Here is a question I have re: touchscreen and the interface...

When running a file your mouse is normally trapped within the shutoff icon on the screen. Do you use a mouse with this?

Also if you wanted to increase your speed while a file running or some of the other commands that you can do since it is a multi key operation {shift >} how would you accomplish that with a touch screen?
