Since this seems to be a new product, I'm not sure if anybody has
used one of these before. Uses USB to talk to the PC. It does work
with Mach3, and they have plugin modules for it to work with that
software. Can anyone think of any reasons why it wouldn't work with
EMC2? Price is cheap
This looks a lot like a device I tested a year ago with hal_inpt.
Unfortunately, it did not work very well. Here's a link to the message

It's a Contour Shuttle Xpress, just like the Tormach jog dial.

I believe there is a simple patch for the kernel to make this device
work correctly. Unfortunately, it was a year ago when I found what I

Mark,
If you are using the axis interface these work very well.

I have three BOURNS ecw1j-b24-ac0024 encoders I am using for feed
over ride, speed over ride and axis jog. I haven't configured the
speed over ride yet. They may not be the most robust encoders but
Stuart,
I'm planning on using Axis as the interface. Gotta get to

Guys,
I'm getting lost here:
- attached the old 3 axis xylotex: same problem
- hooked up the scope to watch the step signal: step high approx 3 us.
Should be ok as xylotex says 1000 ns minimal. 5 volts.
- at approx 1000 Hz pulses seem ok. a little twitchy on the scope screen.
- attached older
