Looking for new hand controller/Pendant

[Neale]

Hello I´m Stoandl from Austria and hope to get support in this thread .
I use mach3 , CSMIO IP-M and the wireless MPG WHB04B.
The problem is -when using the MPG - z-axis does not move anymore with the keyboard button (pg-up,pg-down) x-axis and y-axis work as usual with the arrow buttons.
Does anyone have an idea to solve the issue ?
thanks Stoandl

I have a very similar setup and also have some problems with it. I posted something about two weeks ago describing my problems. I'm not sure that the arrow keys work on my Mach3 screen, but I have never worried about it as I always use the MPG for jogging. I'm not surprised, though - there do seem to be some issues with this particular combination of hardware.

Dear Neale, thanks for your reply .Seems I have to cope with inconveniences with this hardware combination and future issues , nevertheless I trust in the experts of this forum .

Yes, there is a known incompatibility between the CSMIO-IP/M plug-in and the latest versions of Mach3. I am running a slightly older version of Mach3 to avoid the problems which stopped my tool-height setting macros from running correctly. Over the last year or two I have been starting to find one or two other issues which I am still trying to understand but which seemed to arrive when I started using the MPG. Your "jogging" problem is one that I noticed recently but because I do not use the feature I was not sure if it was a real problem or that I had forgotten how the facility worked! I have to say that I do like my MPG and it is always in use for any job I am doing.
