I don't have any suggestions - the code guys are better in that regard - butI do have a question - is your pendant project a commercial venture or an open source that you'll publish somewhere? I'm interested in what you're doing. Making my own "intelligent" pendant would be appealing (ok, pretty damn cool too - especially if I involve my dad for some help implementing touch panel tech from a previous job as opposed to buttons). At the very least let us know how your project turns out when it gets to where it's going.

I am using the EMCRSH, Telnet interface to EMC. My pendant was going to be quite a simple affair, but as things go, it has grown larger that first anticipated. I now have up to 84 inputs, being pushbuttons, rotary switches and encoders, and LED indicators for all of these inputs. I also have a 8" digital photo frame as a monitor. These are all controlled by a microprocessor, which is also handling the Ethernet connection to my mini-itx EMC computer. The problem I am having is when I get an error from EMC, I can't get the error message back to my pendant. I have tried the Get Operator_display, Get Operator_text and Get error commands, but none of these are returning an error to me. I am testing this by issuing a simple G01 command from MDI mode, this should invoke an error in regard to having no federate. I get an error displayed on my EMC computer, but all my status reporting to my micro are returning OK's. Is there some other command I should be using???
