Programmable Keypad for use with CNC Machine
« on: Sun, 14 February 2010, 13:20:05 »
Hi,

I'm looking for a programmable keypad with clear caps for the keys so I can print or vinyl cut my own keys and then use the clear caps to make them more permanent.

The keypad will be subject to swarf, and oil, ideally it'd have a clear membrane over the top too. I've seen the X-Keys items but the idea of a cheap keypad and some mods would be nice.

The keypad would have basic keys for jogging the cnc milling machine, keys to reset axis etc, set jog increments 0.01, 0.10, 1.00 mm etc.

Any ideas?

Screwdriver + cutters (or soldering iron if so inclined)

Problem solved...but at that price, most people would not want to be breaking bits off.
