One of the great joys of being able to design with electronics is the ability to make your own custom tools. DJ recently picked up a CNC router and in order to make his life a wee bit easier, he’s designed and built a pendant that will allow him to more comfortably, and accurately set up his parts in the machine. Follow along as he tinkers his way to new gadget that, hopefully, will be of use or inspiration for fellow makers and CNC enthusiasts.

    The project is very nice but a cabling scheme would not be refused!

    Awesome project! I'm definitely building this, it solves exactly the annoyance I encounter when milling. Could you share the file for the front plate which includes the text?

    OK, I've clearly missed the schematic for this project.  Can you send a link to it?  All of the parts will be here next week and the case is being made.

     

    Many thanks!

    Great!!! That really was my last hope :-D

    I don't use Eagle myself, so I don't know about the speed.

    I'm glad that it works in the end, have fun with it!

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you  Thomas, that was it.  Moves in X, Y, and Z as I turn the encoder.  The only thing that doesn't work is the speed, but I don't think there is a way to control the speed in Easel using the keyboard.  Now I just have to print the 3D models and carve and engrave the face plate.  Can't wait to get it done.  Thanks again.  Dave...............

    Strange... it has to be a problem in the code...

    It can't be the teensy, since the example sketch of the rotary encoder did work.

     

    Try changing:

      for (int ii = 2; ii < 11; ii++) pinMode(ii, INPUT_PULLUP);

    To:

      for (int ii = 2; ii < 9; ii++) pinMode(ii, INPUT_PULLUP);

     

    Otherwise, try starting with only the code related to the rotary encoder. If that works, you can start adding pieces of code bit by bit and see wheter it keeps working fine.

    I tried the Teensy LC and still no go.  I must be doing something wrong.  I'm following the pin connection per the sketch.  I ordered the Teensy 2 but I don't think it's the Teensy.  When I plug the Teensy in to the computer after I flash it, it says setting up keyboard, then comes back and says keyboard ready to use??
