Got some rotary switches in, and built up a palm-sized MPG pendant for my Bridgeport today. I built my first pendant using a big Fanuc MPG that John Kasunich gave me at a codefest/CNC meeting in about 2007. When I built a second one, I used an encoder very similar to the ones from MP Jones and

Hi, I built a XYZ router and attached a plasma cutter to it with a THC module which gives me "Arc ok", "up" and "down" signals. I figured out how to use Stepconf to move the stepper motors but I can't get the THC part to work. Does someone have a similar / example configuration? I saw that there
