Hi Martin, My wired pendant like the one in the video works great. But I'm not sure how that's relevant to my question with respect to someone wanting 4 rotary axis that currently doesn't exist in MACH4 but Brian Barker (MACH4 support) is interested in writing a module that does it.
Just seems to me there are already people using LCNC with separate joints and axis and I suspect with the right MESA card might be an out of the box solution. But I don't want to hijack the MACH thread on their forum to rave about LCNC when a) it might not do it and b) it's really not the right way to inform the original poster about it. Better to find out if this is 'easy' and then send a PM to the original poster which doesn't hijack the MACH forum thread. > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin Dobbins [mailto:tu...@hotmail.com] > Sent: February-21-22 10:33 AM > To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] FW: [MachCNC] Mach4 teach/record > > Before you do reply to the MACH group, you might listen to this (no it's not > on topic): > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s3nYbYNvNU > [https://i.ytimg.com/vi/2s3nYbYNvNU/maxresdefault.jpg]<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s3nYbYNvNU> > 2022 02 LinuxCNC WHB Pendant - > YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s3nYbYNvNU> > Here's how I got an xhc-whb04b-4 pendant to work with LinuxCNCSee this > related post for the configuration > files:https://forum.linuxcnc.org/24-hal-components/... > www.youtube.com > > > ________________________________ > From: John Dammeyer > > I'm forwarding this message to the LCNC group before I say anything on the > MACH group.
