Post by: Naijin on September 06, 2016, 08:39:11 AM

Hi there, just thinking about buying one of those MPG Pendants, I would like some advice on brand names or makes and models etc.  and any advice in favour off or against, are they easy to install ?

Regards
Nick   ???

I like the Shuttle-Pro XHC HB04L.  It is wireless and uses a USB dongle receiver to communicate directly with Mach3 via a plugin.  No special wiring knowledge necessary and it doesn't need a breakout board/motion controller that has an MPG input port.  Works quite well with my system - also using the UC100 and M542 Stepper drivers.  (Chinese built 6040 CNC router.)

There are several listings on e-bay ranging in price from about $85 to 115 plus shipping if any.  (The wired version which plugs into a USB port is around $75.)  One such listing is here:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/152062599692?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true

Hi there,
I bought a P1 from Vistacnc and have been delighted.

I had one issue with it, my fault, I felt sure I'd zapped it. I enquired about sending
it for repair but they sent me the firmware program and talked me thru it and its
been good ever since. If I lived in California or in fact the US I would send them
a box of beer or something. Really impressed.

Thanks for all the replies, I think I will go with the XHC HB04L, I will let you all know the results when I buy one.

If it helps Luis Maria said...

"I am new to the forum and I want to add an MPG using Modio".

(or something close to that).
