Keyboard Control using workbee firmware & duet2 wifi

Hi,

I want to use a duet2 wifi on my cnc. I love to use my Keyboard/ xbox-controller / Jog-wheel for manually moving the CNC-head around.

Having Hardware Buttons and feedrate-encoder gives me freedom to focus on the machine rather than Looking on the Screen.

Is this supported by workbee firmware ?

Can I use Hardware Buttons or a Joystick to move the spindle around?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi,

Thanks for your questions.

Officially at the moment, there is no way to use an external controller to jog the machine. However if you take a look at this forum post it has info on using a pendant: https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/11389/cnc...

Please note this isn’t something endorsed by Ooznest.

Best Regards

This will work perfectly on your Duet board (It will execute your Macros also)
