Dear all.
I really don't know what to decide ;-)
Initially I planned to design and build my own control panel.
Green, yellow, red push button with integrated Light. (17x17mm in size)
MPG wheel, and rotary switches for Feed, jog override...
4x20 LCD panel for feeds and speeds DRO
However i can also find "Ready made" control panels from PoKeys and CNC4PC
But, I'm missing som key function, like "Ignore Tool change", Zero XYZ,
Touch probe, and some other functions.
And, these ready made panels, have functions that I never come to use.
"Learn" is one of them.
Regarding price, I think it wil be approx. samesame....
What have you done ?, what would you do different ?
Should it be a combo of the PoKeys 48key panel + my own buttons for my customization ?
Please give me the best of your experience..... show and tell what you have done......
using the std. mach screen, different combos, what works for you....
I'm using the machine in my garage for wood routing, and light alu-milling.
So of course the panel must be 'perfect' ;-)
Best Regards, Bo Andersen.
Hoping to gain more knowlegde.
