Acondit.. They are cheep enough to not have the headach of a switch (or keeping track of which way the switch is before you start spinning. I'd be constantly jogging the wrong axis I think).. |
A simple pushbutton switch to toggle between axis is very simple to implement using the OEM triggers in mach3. Also, using screen designer, you can add large LED's on any screens you want to show the active axis.
