Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC Control Panel

Dave

Yes, but you need to build a circuit to allow the
computer to handle 2 keyboards. There is one
in the files section of this group. Just splicing two
keyboard cables together wont work. You could
build a panel with a keyboard attached to it and
connect the wires from the switches in parallel
with the actual keyboard keys. That way you have
only one keyboard connected to the computer.
