Rotary CNC Joystick
DaOld Man:
Cool. Some day I will own a CNC.

Nice looking machine and controller you have! I thought about building a home made pendant for my CNC until I realized that Mach3 had a plugin for an xbox 360 wireless controller. Simultaneous, incremental control of all axis's as well as the ability to program all of the extra buttons and custom macros make it hard to beat. Are you running Mach 3?

I use Mach3. I don't have an xbox but I did see the plugin and it does look like a great solution. Still, I prefer arcade controls.
