Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] virtual hand jive

I would love to see someone come up with the virtual handwheel.
A couple of interesting points:
1. DanCad supports joystick input.
2. Here is a link for a CNC retofit for Boss controllers. It shows pictures of a "pendant" that looks like what most of us (I
think) have in mind.
