OK great !
thanks for that clarification.
The macros were put in yesterday and are ready to go.
Soon as I get this wiring changed and connected.
Thanks so much,
Russ

I would also like to use wired MPG on my machine and I will need at least 8 inputs to connect this handwheel to BOB.

I already bought AXBB-E controller and extra BOB, but I think inputs will not enought. Can someone give some recommendations how to get more inputs?
(A, B/X, Y, Z/x1, x10, x100)

Thanks,

Hi Juka,
I need the same as you.
I think there are only 11 inputs available using the AXBB. 6 on port 2, and 5 on port 3.
Will watch for other suggestions (hopefully OTHER than going to another controller board)

How about an Arduino using Modbus?

[RWC]

Hi Gerry. Are you familiar with the Arduino ?
Which product would you recommend ?
Thanks

Hi Russ, IF you are not using teh analog inputs you can use them to run teh 2 rotary switches. You would set teh switches up as a string of resistors and measure teh voltage at each selection. The create a macroLoop to use teh values to make selections.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

That is a cool approach !
I might just try that, will need help with the details, of course.
Thanks for the suggestion TP,
Russ

No, never used one.

Modbus sounds Good. Is there any plug and play solution, pcb with terminals? I am now familiar with modbus yet.

Thanks,

There are many working open source solutions for Arduino Modbus, both serial and Ethernet.
