    MPG2 pendant and Smoothstepper

    Hello, is there anyone that has this combination up and running, and would like to share how?
    Can I follow the instructions here: http://cnc4pc.com/Tech_Docs/guide_fo..._over_LPT2.htm , and use their brain?
    I am using the C25 SS connecting board.

    I managed to get it working after an whole evening of fiddling, by using a combination of pc4cnc instructions and http://www.markusmechatronics.com/Handrad_HowTo.html
    I had to assign the right hotkeys and run the brain: Axis_JogRes_Selector.brn
    Also had to wire the switch common wire to ground, not to +5v.

    Hello Lars,
    I have the same pendant and the ESS plugged into the C25 bob, like you. Having a hell of a time with it. The Brain from CNC4PC is old, and doesn't seem to work. Could you share the Brain and your settings with me? My email address is: [email protected]. The guide is confusing, and Arturo doesn't want to work with me any more. I also have an issue with the C41 spindle control board from him. Is that what you are using also?
