Wow, that does look slick Dave - really nice indeed - excellent work, my friend.

Very nice work Dave !
That's a keen idea.

Any cool Christmas gifts to share with us this year ?
And how bout York ?

Would anyone happen to know if I can wire the LCD and the shuttle pro 2 together at the pendant and then run one cord to the PC? Or is this too much voltage.

I have the pdf's for the controller and and the LCD, but not sure what the Shuttle is as I can only find an owners manual, not a spec sheet on voltage.

I'm able to run them together using a passive hub into one USB port on the controller, but do passive hubs have any special circuitry?

Thanks,
Dave

That's gotta be on of the slickest pendants so far. Very quality job, Dave!

Sweet!!!!

Hi Dave,

Are you just meaning the supply for the backlight for the LCD ??

Tweakie.

Good morning, fellas, and thank you for the very kind words - 

Tweaks, no sir, the USB/Serial controller is "piggybacked" to the LCD so the whole assembly and the Shuttle would be tied together into one cable.

I've been learning a few things from a fella over at the Vectric forum, and he's helping me to use a very small USB hub to go inside the pendant casing, but it's going to be tricky as I do not have a "lot" of room in there. I'm also a good solderer, but I've got a shaking problem and I've lost my "touch" so to speak. It'll be a challenge for sure trying to work with these super small contacts 

I'll keep you posted!

Russ, my friend, I'm sorry, no Xmas gifts made from CNC this year, all store bought this time around. What's sad is that I did a make a friend a plaque for his dog on my wood router but it turned into a nightmare and scrapped it. That's what I get for not taking those baby steps first! As for York, it doesn't look good as my daughter can not drive (issues) and I have to take her to work everyday and unfortunately she's working that whole weekend. It's killing me as I'd absolutely love to get down there even if it's just to meet a few of you guys.

Thanks again, and Happy Holidays!
Dave
