Are you doing something unusual? I have 2 1hp rated pmdc I'm running with modified Jon's pwm-servo's, pushing then to around 2hp, and 2 1+ hp rated vfd's, one run over an rs485 link and one run by a Spinx1. I have a pendant, came with the 6040. USB interface, no jog dial so I've never plugged it in while lcnc was running. Designed for mach, it didn't work with that either. So I just take the wireless keyboard to the machine. > Which is one of the reasons I've resisted upgrading.
