Nice setup Andy. At the other end of the Xbox budget range I'm using the plugin built into UCCNC and a dirt cheap USB Nintendo style controller which works OK for jogging and Z zero setting but going wireless would be very helpful. Understanding how to use the probing control is on my ToDo list.
The only thing you might add would be a hard-wired interlock switch for the spindle when doing manual tool changes. I have one which interrupts the start wire from the controller so that no accidental button press or software glitch can spoil my Jimmy Page impersonations.An optimist says the glass is half full, a pessimist says the glass is half empty, an engineer says you're using the wrong sized glass.
