thanks brett,
after weeks of searching on how to hook up the pendant using  the keygrabber you  finally got it to work
it is so cool I wish I knew how to put a video of my machine so  newbee people like me could see how it works
so far I got my x,y and z axis working and also the cycle start and cycle stop.
thanks again and to the mach forum.

The people here are indeed fantastic, glad you're up and running- 

Thanks Guys, it was no problem. You now have a good starting point. Take it and run with it. Many, many more things you can add and manipulate to help you. The capabilities of Mach are insane. Nearly the only limitation is your imagination. 


Brett

Take it and run with it.

Haha I thought that was good coming from someone with a gammy knee

The kid won't let me "borrow" one of his x box controllers. Chased me out of the room, of course he's 28 and bigger than me!

LOL Rich. You still got your old bat? 

Brett

Something better than a bat is required, I''ll  just raise rent from a 12 pack of beer a month to a good bottle of Scotch.
Of course by the the time I get it, the Scotch would be 25 year vintage, and MACH would be controlling the robots to do my
machining.

yeah, but we'll still be here trying to figure out how to get Mach to stop the robots from fighting with each other -
