Here's a better image , the code just about uses all the mega8 so probabley go for a MEGA16 , or even a 128 , the cost is not out of this world .
yes looking at fitting a rotary encoder too perhaps switchable to axis required , at this time the code is seen in windows as 6 joysticks and buttons
as it was used in another life ! .
looking at adding in a 2 line LCD to show x y z positioning ( saves trying to look at the pc , i hope . but need a bit more feedback on the number of keys needed etc , so i can trim the code back or increase the avr size , but the code should work in any reasonable sized mega , everythings so flexiable
until it's nailed down .
thought of using USB as most pc's now are even shipping without a serial port , so it's eniviatable USB will prevail , but could be a serial port anyhow
i see that CNCZONE'S admin posted a pendant panel in the downloads
perhaps he may post the editable version and people can come up with visionary ideas ! , for this project .
