Ok, my goal is to build a pendant that imitates some functions of the HAAS machine I used to work on. I am trying to figure out how the MPG will behave when used here. On that machine you would select buttons to determine the movement per step, 0.1", 0.01", 0.001" or 0.0001" per "click" of the wheel. Similar to the way mach lets you cycle through these in the Step Jog mode. The wheel has 100 detents and corresponding marks on the wheel.
I've read the Mach3 manual, but I don't have hardware to play with yet, but can Mach3 be set up to work like this? One "click" of the physical wheel makes one step in jog mode? From what I read, it looks like you just set up the wheel to make the machine move, but it doesn't work with step mode. Or am I way off here? Thanks for any help anyone can provide?
