looking for a pendant to work with Cslabs ip-m mach 3

Its just the jogging really im happy to go back to the pc to do the rest, The pc its as close as I can get it but unfortunately just out of arms reach when looking up close, Its quite a large machine. If its likely to work I guess ill just take a punt on one of the wired usb ones. Im still trying to figure out setting up a z zero probe thing.

many thanks for the advice

I recently bought Ger's 2010 screenset. Its only a few 10s of dollars. Get that and use it, makes probing easier and it comes with a dedicated set of screens for probing etc.

If you are around the West London area I can show you how I use it on my current machine.

Im rather nervous with anything electronic or computer related as I only have very limited knowledge and its all a bit black magic to me so a little un easy about changing anything if its working ok as is, but I have just had a look at it and maybe one day I will. im still learning the very basics of machining, I just cut a part with a few tool changes but im changing the tool by hand and then sending it to zero and adjusting the z height by just adjusting to tool in the collet which is not great. Im only down near Brighton so not a million miles away , I could really do will learning a lot more!

You are welcome to pop in (UB108TE) and I can show you what I do. Its not perfect but I believe it will probably give you good info to consider / work with.
