Texas MicroCircuits CNC Control Panel - CP1

CP1 has been superseded by our MP2CP kit Here

We have had several requests for many of the functions of the Texas MicroCircuits MP1 MiniPendant but in the form that can be made a part of a CNC machine.......a control panel of sorts.

We cobbled some prototypes together and came up with several flavors that users have requested.

Fig. 1 shows the control panel (sans joystick) mounted in a standard single duplex/switch box.

Fig. 2 shows an expanded version mounted in a standard double electrical box.

Fig. 3 shows the "kit" with the electronics, keyboard cable, and USB adapter. A panel will be optional and we'll probably make a standard single and double panel as well as give away the DXF file so users can make/modify their own.

Fig. 4 shows an optional "program load" module attached. This will give the user that has 12 or less programs (g-code files) he runs all the time to dial in the program number (1-12) and load that g-code into Mach from the panel.

There can also be wired to the PCB a "switch" joystick or 5 individual pushbuttons for axis control (N,E,S,W and mode change...normal/fast/incremental). (no pic available)
