Title: Remote control
Post by: BasHIDAP on February 05, 2010, 04:40:28 PM

I'd like to control some of the mach3 functions with a remotecontrole. My gantrymill is quit big and keep walking up and down to
the computer.
Who has a good hardware suggestion

You could use the x-box wireless controller plugin or if you only need digital inputs, you could use a transmitter/receiver for a garage door or alarm system.

You can assign oem codes to the buttons, jog with the joysticks, open file, start, stop, pause.
