Hello.
I am looking at retrofitting an outdated mill using a MachMotion controller. I would like to be able to use the spare inputs on their Apollo III controller to connect external push buttons or possibly a joystick used for jogging remotely. I have no experience with Mach4, so am looking for a way how to do this...or if it is easily done.
I have read many posts here and I am pretty sure that it is possible, just need some direction as to the easiest way. If possible, I would like to have 4 buttons for Continuous jog of X/Y + & - and then have 2 more buttons for Incremental jog of Z.
I know there are other options for jogging using the software, keyboard or MPG, but I am looking for a remote option.
Thank you
