I’m currently piecing together a simple driver for the XHC WHB04B - a relatively inexpensive USB pendant. At the moment I can only have it behave like a keyboard, detecting the pendant inputs and translating them to the CM shortcut keys. It would be great if there were a way to more seamlessly integrate, like a control API so that fast wheel jogs could work properly, and the pendant display could be updated with realtime offsets.
Failing that, some more keyboard shortcuts would be great:
Global:
- Stop
In jog mode:
- Fast step mode
- Spindle on/off
- Spindle +
- Spindle -
- +/- 5 or 10 steps in X,Y,Z for faster jogs
In run mode:
- Feed +
- Feed -
Thanks
