Mark, If you read close on CNC4PC about the 6 axis one it says it is the same as the 4 axis one except that is it wired for 6 axis. So I'm guessing the picture is correct. John On 28 Apr 2008 at 9:14, Mark Wendt (Contractor) wrote: > John, > > Weird. Both of them must be using the

John, Weird. Both of them must be using the same wrong picture for the 4 axis pendant that shows a 6 axis knob on it. Mark At 10:04 AM 4/28/2008, you wrote: >Mark, if you look close both CNC4PC and Keling sell the same >pendants with the >same part number and at the same price of $18

Mark, if you look close both CNC4PC and Keling sell the same pendants with the same part number and at the same price of $180. I'm guessing from the the same manufacturer... The $235 pendant is a different one that supports 6 axis. John On 28 Apr 2008 at 8:20, Mark Wendt (Contractor) wrote: >

I understand that. I was just bringing up the Keling web site to show you that the MPG he is selling for $180 is virtually identical to the one that cnc4pc is selling for $235. Mark At 08:00 AM 4/28/2008, you wrote: >Hi >buy MPG not a problem, make it work with EMC2 is. >those MPG-4 some has 4

It seems quite straight-forward to connect it to a parport, and use the motion inputs for jogwheels & selects (you probably need a mux or demux, I didn't look too closely). Regards, Alex On Sun, 2008-04-27 at 10:52 -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi > I have MPG4-6Axis pendant. > http://www.cnc
