That's part of he display on Mach3 and it's not that far from me but I can see times where it would be convenient. <br /><br />One thing I didn't mention is that I implemented a keyboard trick that Mach does. On the keyboard it's , on the Rumblepad I assigned the upper left of the four rectangular buttons around the Logitech logo. When I press that key and any of the axis movements, the axis moves a single .001" step. That's going to have to be convenient for something. <br /><br />BTW, I took the Rumblepad about 20 feet from the mill and it still works. I don't see a need for that, but it's cool. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-79967640991111406852017-09-10T08:42:34.499-04:002017-09-10T08:42:34.499-04:00Exactly what Phil said.
