I used a USB pendant. Works with both MACH3 automatically and with LinuxCNC
using the
[XHC_HB04_CONFIG]
# specify layout = n for LIB:xhc-hb04-layout{n}.cfg files
layout = 2
# coords: specify upto 4 letters from set {x y z a b c u v w}
# coords: switch labels are xyza but any unique 4 letters
# from the set {xyxabcuvw) can be used (if the coord exists)
coords = x y z a
# lowpass settings:
# coef: slows rate of change of output, range: 0 < coef < 1
coefs = 1 1 1 1
# scale plus or minus, rotaries may require larger scale factor:
scales = 1 1 1 1
# jogmode normal(default) or vnormal or plus-minus
jogmode = normal
# sequence 1: 0.001,0.010,0.100,1.000 (mm-based machine)
# sequence 2: 0.001,0.005,0.010,0.020 (inch-based machine)
# sequence 3: 0.001,0.010,0.100
# sequence 4: 0.001,0.005,0.010,0.020,0.050,0.100
# sequence 5: 0.001,0.010,0.050,0.100,1.000
sequence = 2
# require_pendant = no: create xhc-hb04 hal pins when pendant not connecte
# at startup
require_pendant = yes
# inch_or_mm = in | mm
inch_or_mm = in
# mpg_accels: provision for reduced acceleration for manual mode jogging
mpg_accels = 2.5 2.5 2.5 12
