Thanks for following the guide. As mentioned this was just a brief outline of using WorkBee Control. Please visit our YouTube channel for more in-depth tutorials on operating a CNC Machine. Even though some of the videos on our YouTube channel use an older version of the WorkBee the concepts still apply!

One question I have is about the way the web controller screen setup is controlled. In my PC (with 1920 x 1080 monitor) I get the version with 5 manual move control buttons per axis per direction. On my phone (also with 1920 x 1080 screen) I get the version with only 3 move control buttons per axis per direction. I want to buy a tablet to use with the router but want to be sure that I will get the version of the interface I get on the PC. What do I need to specify as regards the tablet in order for this to happen? Thanks.
Hi Colin, Thanks for your email. On your phone, are you on the Mobile version or Desktop Version. There should be a button to switch between the two?
Hi Ryan,
Sorry not to get back to you sooner. Can you please let me know where this button is located as I have been over the interface on both my PC and my phone and especially the settings tabs and cant find it. Cheers.
Sorry i think i was incorrect in my previous message, the version you see if based on screen size and there is no button to switch.
Hi Ryan,
Many thanks for clearing that up. Do you know if I’m going to get 4 or 5 jogging buttons if I get either a 7 inch or 10 inch android tablet. Cheers
