I am like you... VB , C# but no python but will take a look

Anyhow it was not as hard as i thought and I love having the Gamepad to move the mill around.
That was the one thing that i missed from leaving...

Well its summer so time is limited to play in the basement on the mill, but i finally took the time to configure my Logitech GamePad on PathPilot.
Loving it.
If anyone care to know how i did it...

Do you mean a pendant from Vistacnc.com ?

If it is, it looks like they are compatible with Linuxcnc and my approach with PP is : if it works on Linuxcnc, I can make it work for PP
