I currently have a 3-axis servo (using gecko's) 3-n-1 mill/lathe.
I am looking into converting my Sebastian lathe to CNC in the future
but for now I was going to adapt a pendant controller similar to the
Frog, now I find out they are no longer being produced

Since I already have a PC in the shop (using TurboCNC), I figured I
could use that to control servos or step motors on my Sebastian, the
question is, what program out there would allow me to control the
motors similar to the Frog controller??
