Help to connect Universal MPG from China to UNCNC with UC100

[Harnell]

I had a cheap usb pendant from China for Mach3 that worked great on my system (UCCNC and UC100). One of the switches is dying and I found a 4 Axis Universal MPG Hand Wheel Pendant that requires the wires be connected to a BOB. I have a bob between my xylotex box and the UC100 that I thought I could connect this pendant to but don't know which pins the wires connect to. Can anyone help?

You said your old pendant was USB, so it only transmitted a data signal to a plugin for all that functionality and all those buttons.

For your new pendant, technically you can wire each of those signal wires on your new pendant up to a BOB and set them in UCCNC, but they each take an input, which means that the UC100 isn't appropriate to use with that pendant, but something like the UC300 with lots of IO would be.

Sorry, but your out of luck with that pendant to work via a UC100.

It would also work nicely with Linuxcnc but as said it would still consume a lot of pins. I use something similar. Something like a Mesa 7i76e would do it (32 inputs, 16 outputs, 2 MPG inputs).
