Support told here, that there will be a support for Wireless MPG connection. Does it mean, that MPG will be connected directly to the system as "keyboard"? So in SW is just necessary to set a shortcut to these "simulated" keyboard, or ...?
Correct me please, if I am wrong. MK3/4 has a JOG connector for external keyboard connection. The machine is moving until a key is pressed. So what about convert AB signal from encoder to "key press". It will create a signal for one step to +/- regarding to encoder direction. There will an another switch for axes selection like JOG1/2-X, JOG3/4-Y and JOG5/6-Z. And the latest switch will select a "multiply" ratio like step*1/10/100. What do you think about it?
I could create a "controlling" prototype board if this is working.
