You can interface any MPG that can connect to a controller. For example you can connect a four wire 5V MPG to Mach4 using the ESS, or you can interface it to Mach4 with a Pokeys device. You must configure Mach4 but the hand wheels do work just fine. If you buy a Vista MPG it comes with a plugin just put the plugin in the right directory and enable the plugin and it is all setup. Clearly that method is the fastest and you do not need to write LUA code to make anything work as that is all embedded in their plugin.
