Well my mistake MarcL , its not really a tach but a potientiometer? registers position of the speed control & sits in the place of the hand crank on manual machines. I have also heard of the RF interferance issue with wireless keyboards.Since this is my personal toy I thought what the heck if I have to I'll swap it out with the house computer. I've got most everything hooked up with a few loose wires left to be tied up. The computer and pendant work good so far,I should get the encoders Fri. so maybe this weekend I can finish up and get back to cutting chips and making a few bucks on the side
