Hi,

I just picked up a round column mill and I want to have a power feed +, is something like this available, like an MCU and code, basically a stepper with driver moving my X and Y, plugged into an MCU in the back of an MPG pendant.

Basically a computer controlled power feed, you can set axis and move it with the jog encoder or you can set a direction, speed, distance on a small keypad, I could probably build the pendant but I'm not a coder.

I don't want to run programs as such, something much more lightweight, small footprint, I already have a CNC.

Is something like this available?

If it is a thing, bonus points for it outputting coordinates to a seperate (larger) DRO screen and/or being able to support encoder inputs so you could have open/closed position feedback loops?

Cheers
Richard

The only other thing I would add is a setting for single cuts that would need XY moves, angles and arcs.
