I think your definition of an ELS appears to be different from mine. Plus I no longer care if I make something that requires a minimum of a BSc in Computer Science to understand and modify. In reality the market for any sort of custom pendant is now pretty well zero. There are those who will build something from an Arduino or a Pi. But they won't sell thousands or even hundreds. I still like my ShuttleExpress on my MACH3 CNC router. I'd buy another. http://www.contourdesign.ca/product/shuttlexpress/ I've got one of those far east MPG pendants on the LinuxCNC/MACH3 dual boot system. Works with either. I finally got the display for the MODIO and I've had that working with MACH3. Have yet to try the Modbus side of things for LinuxCNC. It's like this one except wired. Not wireless and I think it cost me $65. https://www.amazon.ca/Autek-Wireless-Mac-Mach-Pendant-Handwheel/dp/B078HX2RM3/ref=sr_1_19 Other than the price of the processor, what is it specifically that you don't like about the TMS320F28379D.
