    diy cnc controller? pendant?

    I've yet to see or find anyone detailing a build of a decent controller and or pendant, with estop/limits, mpg etc. I have seen some cool photos, just no build logs or details. Everyone seems to be at least at the level of making the basic xylotex or hobby cnc setup but for us less electronically skilled people, all of the extras seem a bit difficult. Anyone want to point me and others in the right direction? I've seen cool controllers like the mechmate, even David who built joe's 06 diy cnc built a nice controller and pendant. Any logs here? I've searched unsuccessfully

    There was one person who had a site with various CNC plans and a plan for a controller too. Wasn't too fancy of a site with a black background. Not sure if thats what your looking for.

    If you run a Mach set up you can't go wrong with the Shuttle Pro. Check it out http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?topic=1220.0 They run for about $60 on ebay. Has 15 buttons and 2 jog wheels.
