damn, with a different firmware, this could be an excellent macropad for a PC (usecases: video/audio editors, stream deck, spotify carthing and so on) amazing work!
@@FoxyBuildsDIY I still plan to sell the pendant only. Probably as a kit that includes everything that is needed: preassembled board, two front buttons, status LEDs, BlackPill, handwheel and display. The main problem with selling only pendant - I could guarantee that it will work with a particular controller. Not many other controllers have MPG/DRO interface via UART.
Great update, you explain things clearly even to a beginner. I would love to build one and feature it on a CNC video on my channel but I cannot seem to get the PCB ordered! I've got the handwheel, screen and BlackPill but I have never done electronics design and have a hard time getting my head around how to order a populated PCB based on the BOM. Would it be possible to make a simple (maybe just written) guide on how to do it? I'd love to plug your design and check out how it works with a beginner CNC!
This is a standalone setup you don't need a computer to run your cnc. This hooks up to your control box and your good to go. You still need a computer to put your gcode on a SD card and that's what you use on this device to run your machine.
This is an excellent option for running diy cnc machines thanks a bunch for your hard work my friend. This is a winner for sure.

Will you be selling the pendant only or do we have to buy the bundle?

Wondered will your pendant work with other boards?
It will work with any board that support MPG/DRO interface(github.com/grblHAL/core/wiki/MPG-and-DRO-interfaces) via UART.
This is amazing. Would this somehow be compatible with LinuxCNC?
