CNC Pendant with 100 MPG

[Lee Roberts]

ok thanks for that Jeff, i just wanted to know because they seem like high prices for what they really are.

I was pointed to these the other day: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ShuttlePro2-CO...em270288548673

Seems like a better price to me, although a small ali box with everything mounted to it would also do the job, would also be handy for later expansion as well if it was a "home-brew" device.

EDIT: i think kip said he's got one of these, they do a smaller version as well. Here is a vid of this one being used:

Hi Lee,

That's a Shuttle Pro, MAch has a plugin for it. I did consider it as It works very well so I'm told. I went for a pendant because I wanted to keep my USB port free as possible to avoid any issues with the SmoothStepper. I'd noticed a couple of times I had missed steps when I'd tried the XBOX360 controller on the same USB port.

I do know the Shuttle has two rings which you can set up for continuous jog on say, the outer and step on the inner, plus you have all those configurable buttons ready to go :p

Let's have the SP from Kip! Not seen him on here for a wee while.

Regards, Jeff.
