I thought they offered one model with I/O for switch sensing...... Super
frog or something.. Here is a quote from their page:

*

Trigger a Frog to cycle upon action of an external mechanical switch.

* and more


If your looking for Readouts though, it wouldn't work either.

I want to get a Frog yet, but for a "Cut to Length" device I need to
build. I have considered the use of the typical G-Code programs but that
is not quite the right thing. Indexer would work great with my own
interface, but I would need to license the use of only one axis, and
that is likely not possible, not to mention my lack of programming
experience though I could probably learn that much.

This thing has to allow an operator to be able to walk up, load the
material, Set 0, type in "how Long" and "how Many". Simple stuff, just
thinking for $200, I'd get most of what I need.
