Hello, gentlemen!

The client wants me to set up the welding robot so that they can use a
remote pendant to jog it.

The 10K $ question is: how can I talk EMC2 in doing something like
that? _Any_ feasible workaround will do.

I recall that there have been discussions on this list that it is not
really possible for machines with non-trivial kins.
And looking at
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Simple_Remote_Pendant
shows that it will jog machine in joint mode:
net joy-x-jog halui.jog.0.analog <= input.0.abs-x-position

Is there anything I can do instead of purchasing extended USB cable
and making operator walk around machine with keyboard in hands?
Can I somehow trick Linux by assigning certain buttons on joypad work
as if certain keys on keyboard were pressed?

Viesturs
