Good Morning All, I have a Contour Shuttle Pro v2 and I use it with XP and Mach3 on one of my machines. Works jolly well too. Extremely good as a flat-lying pendant., and has, as far as I'm concerned, a very intuitive feel. But I run LinuxCNC mostly (swappable drives and other machines and computers) and I miss the Shuttle.
Does anyone have any info about how (or if) I can get the Shuttle to work with LinuxCNC? I'm running v2.5 on this particular machine, under Ubuntu 10.4 (sticking with what's working, on a critical machine) but I can easily upgrade, and I have one other computer running Ubuntu and 2.6, and one I have just built and am about to commission, which will be running the latest version under Wheezy. If I can get the Shuttle working under the most current setup, I can upgrade the others shortly. I have seen some comments on other bulletin boards suggesting no drivers are available; and Contour themselves don't seem to do a Linux driver, but I wonder if there are any sources of drivers or if there is a way to get it working? Contour's comments on one BB suggest there is a problem because its a USB device, but I can't see why that should be an insurmountable problem. Grateful for any help.
