Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
It is very straight forward.
-Screw the antenna cable with USB transceiver
-Connect USB transceiver to your PC USB port.
-Turn ON the Wireless Handwheel
-Transceiver will be recognized as USB HID device by the operating system.
-PlanetCNC TNG will automatically enable "Wireless Handwheel" option in settings.
Steps on how to configure various jogging modes are described in user manual of PlanetCNC TNG V2.

Does WHB04B work?

Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
Wouldn't have thought so because it says it's for Mach 3.Originally Posted by Anriro
I don't know because I did not try it.
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
Does this one work? It is from the link that you gave in the Similar Threads
https://www.ebay.com/itm/CNC-4-Axis-...-/172235541491
It does not matter what is written there, the principle of their work is exactly the same.
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
Sounds like it'll work all CNCs then. You should let the seller know.
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
Perhaps it is possible to detect which one it is? Software could then work only with genuine.
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
The eBay/Amazon/chinese wifi pendants will not work with PlanetCNC's proprietary controllers and signals.
They are designed for Mach3 and come with supporting software/macros to function properly, when/if they do.
My understanding is PlanetCNC have kindly engineered a product that works on their architecture. Might want to support those who strive to provide functional equipment instead.
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
I would gladly support the PlanetCNC, but not for 200 euros.
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
That's the price for tested, quality and small qty manufacturing nowadays. I realize this isn't exactly cheap, but hey man, "it works" (priceless if you ask me).
By all means, have those Chinese kit with random & noisy highfreq causing your machine to over travel and crash at the slightest interference around your shop, and you'll feel that 200+ euro pretty quick.
If you can't afford it then fair enough, reach out and try your luck - ask for a discount. Don't go about flashing cheap products to make a point, not cool bro :/
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
I suspect that this is also made in China. The difference is only in the inscriptions on the buttons.
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
Does not appear so, I've checked before making my statement. The same unit, different logo/brand, would be on the market and flooding already if from China (naturally).
Could well be from a 3rd European manufacturer, who am I to judge. Ask PlanetCNC

PS. the quality 2.4GHz antenna is what gives the impression it was engineered in-house...
Will this work on the raspberry pi as well? Or only on a Windows based PC?
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
It also works on Raspberry Pi.
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
Could anyone tell me if one could reprogram the wireless handwheel to operate axis X, A and Z? I have a rotary plasma tube cutter, so I use the rotary A-axis instead of a Y-axis, but the handwheel is pre-set to X, Y and Z only.
Cannot find any settings to adjust handwheel axis in the Settings/Handwheel section.
Any help appreciated.
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
It is not XYZ only. Shift + Cycle button on wireless handwheel switches between XYZ, ABC and UVW axes.

Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
I have seen that it is possible to edit the Mappings of the buttons with the Handwheels.txt.
Is there maybe some additional configuration options planed for future? Or maybe is there already a way to do something like this:
Switching to position "C" (which currently only shows the settings) and select a Macro with the Jog Wheel from a predifined list which is displayed on the handwheel display and then execute the selected macro.
Reason is simple: On my "Old" CNC Controller, there where16 Buttons which could be labeled. There are enough buttons on the wireless handwheel, but changing them to my functions will make the icons useless and it would not be intuitive to use.
Re: [TNGv2] - Wireless handwheel (MPG pendant)
Seems like a good idea. I'll add this to TODO list.
