Is there any way to integrate a standard 100pr 5volt MPG pulse generator with UCCNC? Or is the standard UCR201( or similar) pendant the only way to go?

Yes, UCCNC supports MPG's natively.

Thanks ger21 for pointing me in the right direction. All connected and working as it should. Next to try is hotkeys to toggle between x and y axis with the single MPG Handwheel.

Question: Is it possible to use two MPG's, one connected to work with x and one with y. I note the I/O setup only has a single slot for the MPG configuration. I use a single port breakkout board...does multi port make any diference? or is it just not possible to have two free standing MPG Handwheels at the same time within UCCNC?

The UCCNC currently supports one MPG wheel only.
So, you cannot use 2 MPGs.
You can do a MPG axis selection in the input triggers and then you can switch between the axis you want to move with the MPG wheel.
