Has anyone explored the interface to the rather expensive Tormach Console? From a very quick look it appears to connect to PP as a USB HID device.

I thought there was another post I've had quite a good look at it but I don't like HID devices (in general). It certainly would be possible to create a compatible device and have access to all the features of the console and pendant with the exception of Stop and Reset (if I remember correctly). I actually bought a Teensy specifically to have a go when I've nothing else to do (I just can't resist a challenge).
My USB Pendant is based loosely on the Console but doesn't connect as a HID, and as you may have noticed uses a shuttle encoder because I find them FAR easier to use than the large pendant encoder wheels.
Give it a try!
