RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Found a commercial CNC pendant

Jon -

So, do you think the pendant with the DB25 connector is relying on
the user to supply the ADC hardware? Or is that available
somewhere in a standard PC?

Carlos,

I don't know that I'd want a joystick interface. To me, the
possibility
of accidentally jogging the wrong axis in tight quarters would
outweigh
any benefits.
Perhaps two separate sticks for X and Y, or making it switch
selectable...
I've used a pulse generator handwheel on a commercial CNC mill,
and it's
really the best interface for general movement, and coupled with
incremental jogs in selectable resolutions (1.0, .100, .010 etc.)
is
really the hot setup.
