Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Digital Knobs - a solution?

Now that looks very interesting. A company who already has that much capability
in an existing product should be able to configure it for PC Controller use.
Even if one had a knob for each axis, It would be pretty neat. You could press
the built in programmable button to drop the control to a step rate.............

Pretty neat. thanks for the link !
