Title: Simple MPG for jogging axis
Post by: trock on December 05, 2013, 09:38:23 PM

Hi,
I've built my home made cnc router and now getting to the details. It's all running ok for a start but now I was looking into a simple mpg remote just to jog axis for setting up my parts.

I ordered a Hossen remote and did not have any luck with it. I would like to find a simple usb or wireless remote that is simple to setup and has reliable support and documentation. I was being a bit conservative on price to begin, but I am willing to pay for something that just works.

I would really appreciate some advice from you guys that know what companies offer a good product with support here in the US.

Thanks for any help.
Terry

The shuttle express is hard to beat, cheap and effective.

Maybe consider using an XBOX 360 which  is remote and has documentation and a plug in.
