Nice unit...I forgot about those. Do you have configs available to get it working with LinuxCNC or does it "Just Work"? It's not clear from the product page if I can just buy one and use it with a generic LinuxCNC install, or if it only works with Tormach machines. I have access to some similar control panels (jog-shuttle with T-Bar and a bunch of buttons....did I mention my day job is HD video editing equipment?) and it might make for a pretty nifty control: http://www.newtek.com/component/content/article/15-3-play/3play/177-3play-control-surface.html Pretty expensive unless you get engineering prototypes free from work, however! -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net
