    got some ways to go yet, but it is a start. WHB04B-6 pendant

    none of the pendant options are that good for flashcut that i've tried so far, so i figured i'd have a go at getting a WHB04B to work

    the buttons are fairly straightforward and i've done them before in one way or another with the shuttle, its just the XYZ thats tricky

    this is a mod of my standalone DRO widget that shows the coordinates on a second screen, its bitmap based since that is what flashcut does, have to poke around some more in windows to get the all the coords.

    I am watching! This is one of the short falls of flashcut IMO. Who doesnt want or need a real MPG at the machine? You are using the wireless model? I run 1 of those rebranded for Centroid, they work very nice.

    ME TOO. I'm certainly curious as to both what and how your doing this.

    >> Who doesnt want or need a real MPG at the machine?

    For me it depends on the machine. BOTH options would be nice. Driving a 6x12 foot router from one end to the other is not exactly ergonomic spinning a 2.5" dial. On my router, engraver and plasma cutter I prefer various keyboard emulation methods. I've been very happy with a Logitech game controller because I can do everything but call up the job with it.

    The mill though where travels are far more limited by comparison, the MPG would be handy, but I really do not have an issue knowing all the keyboard shortcuts.
