I think there are lots of good useful changes in the joints_axes3 branch that i'd like to have in 2.6, but i'm not sure if it's stable enough to merge this time around.

I have I guess quite recent version of this pendant and have successfully tested on 2.5.2, Frederic also adjusted it for smooth jog in case of using it in world mode..

[Emc-users] USB Pendant (XHC HB04)
Not to hijack the recent pendant thread, but I thought I saw scrolling past that someone may have had working the XHC pendants with LCNC? These are (rather sexy) USB or USB-Wireless units with an MPG, LCD for DRO and button pad. I picked up one of the wireless units, despite my misgivings about wireless control, more for fun with a friend who is still running Mach3 (so I could give it away if needed) - but thinking that maybe that someday I might actually get the time to see if HIDCOMP would see it. Although these are available from a variety of sellers, http://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/mpgs/wireless-mpg-handwheel-for-mach3-controller is the most loved distributor by the Mach guys, currently. This isn't a plug for this device, as I certainly don't have it working (at all) with LinuxCNC (or even Mach at the moment) - but I'm fishing to see if someone already has Regards, Ted. -- How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.

Re: [Emc-users] USB Pendant (XHC HB04)
Ooh that's pretty! Too bad its USB and probably won't work on linuxCNC...? I'd love to have something like that on my Cincinatti Arrow retrofit.

Re: [Emc-users] USB Pendant (XHC HB04)
It would be really nice to have wireless control like this, as in my case, I have bit larger machine, and for zeroing the part, I literally need to be in the machine and do it. For now I'm struggling with Logitech wireless keyboard... I might give it a try to wireless gamepad if it will do the job for temporary...

USB is not a problem, it (the Saitek) worked just fine on my old slow single core amd box, but I found its poor control made it a bad deal for me, and when I installed the Atom boarded box, it never got configured back in.

Re: [Emc-users] USB Pendant (XHC HB04)
Interesting I had heard the MPG should always be wired with linuxCNC because of the real time issue. I certainly have a spare USB port on my vmcs pendant ready for one. Who am i kidding tho I need to find some damn work for the machine before I pay for any more toys for it. Sigh.

Re: [Emc-users] USB Pendant (XHC HB04)

I certainly have a spare USB port on my vmcs pendant ready for one. Who am i kidding tho I need to find some damn work for the machine before I pay for any more toys for it. Sigh. Peace Pete I believe the rub comes in on the USB is because if a device has any storage in it, like a 2Gb usb-key, the system has to scan it for mistaken organization. That takes time screws with lcnc. Take the storage out of the scene, and I believe its effect is relatively minimal. Heck, I'm using USB wireless keyboard and mouse on the lathe, and the only time I have a problem is if the receiver gizmo gets knocked off the top of the spindle housing, its cable can reach the floor, and that too long a range for reliable operation with those puny powered bluetooth used in those.
