Based on a reference note you had on your web site, regarding USB Pendants - I contacted VistaCNC.
VistaCNC's response:
"Our USB pendants do not support Mach4.
We don't have Mach4 plugins yet. We are currently working on those plugins..."
I'm doing this "on paper" as I continue to acquire parts and try to understand it:
I have an Intel NUC PC - usb connected to a - PMDX-410, PMDX-407, and PMDX-134, with (4) Gecko G203V's
I'm planning on running Mach 4 on the NUC PC.
Assuming plug-ins existed, would you just plug the pendant into an available USB port on the NUC PC.
Does anyone have a USB pendant that will work with this hookup?? (or is that really a Mach 4 question)

Any USB pendant with a Mach4 plug-in would work by plugging it into any
available USB port on the host computer. At this time I do not know of
any plug-in for generic devices such as a PC gaming controller. It is sad
to know that Vista does not yet have a plug-in for their devices. They are
quite nice.

Re-visited the Vista CNC site.
They now list software to upgrade their P2-S and P1A-S pendants from Mach 3 to Mach 4
If anyone has any experience using these pendants on Mach 4 - Please comment.
(thanks)
