UGS Dashboard

Appearance

On any screen ​

The same Dashboard runs on a laptop, a tablet and a phone. It adapts to the width it has, and you can lock a layout in from the Layout button (see Your workspace).

Laptop and desktop ​

On a wide screen the Dashboard shows three columns: position and jogging on the left, your panes in the center, and macros, spindle, overrides and machine controls on the right.

Small tablet ​

On a small tablet the Dashboard keeps the essentials in view. Held sideways, position and jogging stay on the left and tabs switch between Program and Machine / Macros. Held upright, a compact strip along the top shows X, Y and Z, and the tabs become Position / Jog, Program and Machine / Macros.

A single pane can also take the whole screen, which is handy for reading and editing G-code.

Phone ​

On a phone the Dashboard uses one tab at a time: Position / Jog, Program and Machine / Macros, with Show console alongside. The controls stay large enough to use by touch.

Connecting from another device ​

Open the Dashboard from any device on your network at http://<UGS-computer-address>:8080/dashboard, and connect to your machine from the controls at the top.

The Dashboard before connecting: a connection bar across the top with a firmware menu set to FluidNC, host and port fields and a Connect button.

Different layouts per device

Layouts are saved separately in each browser, so your phone, tablet and desktop can each keep their own. See Saved layouts & backup.
