2 Hardware Questions

[cnc_dragon]

Hi,
I bought the MK2 controller and some other parts about 3 years ago, and I am finally getting round to building an enclosure.
I purchased the jogging keyboard at the time, but there was no potentiometer soldered to it. Could you advise on a suitable pot to purchase or can I get one from you (planetCNC)?
Also,
I am looking for a pendant to use with my MK2 board, but I notice the pendant in the planetCNC store is only compatible with the MK3. Can you recommend a suitable pendant for the MK2?
I seem to remember there was a pendant for sale in the planetCNC store before the birth of MK3 ?
Many Thanks.

Pendant - Assuming you just need the basic movements? Buy a £6 mini USB remote wireless keyboard. - No wires and rechargeable battery included. Replicate your keyboard movement keys in the palm of your hand. I have four of them. One is used on a PlanetCNC setup.
Risk your £6 you will be surprised how good it is.

I believe any value potentiometer will work eg 10k but must me linear and not logarithmic

Single turn also, not multiturn. Wattage is irrelevant

Thanks ccandiotes. I'll look into my parts bin and see what I can find.
Thanks Eatonbrayer, but for personal reasons I have absolutely no wireless devices in my house. Am looking for a wired solution to connect directly to my MK2.
