Ian, Yabut... Mount it to what? With the DB25 connectors mounted on opposite sides like that I can't really mount it inside my controller box because one side goes to the pendant, and the other side goes to the parallel port on the computer. Mark At 12:35 PM 9/18/2010, you wrote:

So, I might have mentioned that I received a new pendant and got it hooked up and running the other day. I'd been using one of the Logitech joypads, and while it didn't do incremental jogs, it did do continuos motion jogs by holding the joy stick over. I was playing around over the weekend,

Hi Mark, Some of the CNC4PC boards are almost unmountable.. I think he leaves out the holes to minimize the board space and the cost.. But I sure wish he would add in a half square inch of extra board space for holes! I'd pay another dollar or two for holes! If I wanted to panel mount that

You could just pop it in a metal box - mount it using one of the DB25s, make up a short DB25m - DB25f cable and mount the free end of that to the box adjacent to the first DB25 - i.e. one under the other. Of course, the other end of the short cable plugs into the other side of your board.

Igor, My Uncle has a few of those Haas 5C units. Back in the late 80's or early 90's Haas sent me a small potted interface box to allow the Haas 5C to be used on our Hurco mill. 4 wires to the CNC, 4 wires to Haas. Its a simple opto isolation unit. I have the schematic for it. Basically most
