    I have a wired pendant and they seem to have connection issues
    I would like something wireless
    with the pendant I can only go so far distance
    I have used a tablet and just remote connected but that means ripping off the gloves everytime
    wireless keypad/board or controller would be more idea

    I have looked at using my xbox controller with key bindings but I cant figure out what are the keyboard shortcuts for some things
    I usually just use
    jog in all directions
    speeds, fast, med. slow continuously for jogging

    feed rate faster and slower
    gcode start
    pt move
    enter
    zero all
    plasma torch on, aux 1
    and hold/stop of course

    I can get some to work but not all on xbox controller
    same with programmable keypad

    any help would be nice

    Did you ever get this worked out? I am just starting to get into the same thing and would appreciate any wisdom you could pass on.

    Thanks
