Inexpensive MPG - Pendant Recommendations for LinuxCNC was created by randypetersen
Looking at a WHB04B for $125 on Amazon, looking for something that would be easily configured for LinuxCNC in the sub $200 price range. I spent some time trying to get my shuttle to work and thought a proper pendant might be easier to configure and use.
Thanks,
Randy
Thanks,

My German is a little rusty, or non-existent.
I will borrow a XBOX controller and see if I can imitate the video. The translation is pretty rough

Thanks Andy, I couldn't get the setup to run for me, but I will try it again as I think it would be a better way to go.
I thought it was a non-functioning joystick at first, so I bought a brand new one on amazon:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QBHK3W7
one that specifically said compatible with linux
still had problems, I did get qjoypad to work fine though:
wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Super_...ng_With_A_USB_Joypad
and it helps out a lot, but I will revisit the HALinput again.
