I'll be building a new control panel during xmas vacation.
Got my inspiration from the
Machmotion panels.
Will add a built in LCD screen like theirs.
I'll be adding a LOT more switches and stuff than they use.
I like the joystick for rapiding around the table but going to add a
Manual Pulse Generator.
Merging the old control panel with the new one, keeping the jog buttons
and feedhold buttons (locking momentary switches)
Adding a bunch of toggles for Op Stop, Block Delete, Single Block, etc.
Also selectors for Feed Rate and Jog Rate.
Switches for manual Power Drawbar and Flood Coolant control.
And of course Cycle Start, Feed Hold and E Stop.
Really just needed something bigger to house all the electronics and get away from my rats nest.
