Easy way to add convenient buttons to your CNC Machine. It offers buttons for common actions like, Hold, Start, Macro. it also offers a easy accessible probe point via 4mm banana plugs
- Easy breakout and wiring of frequently used buttons and probe mount
- Built in current limit resistors for LED button
The button functions can be changed in software to suit your needs and the text on the printed part can reflect those functions, the list below identifies the current button options. If you would like other arrangements please let me know.
- Macro - Start - Hold
- Reset - Start - Hold
- Macro - Macro - Macro
- Macro - Start - Reset
The design implements a cheap PCB breakout to aid and ease the wiring of the buttons and allow the use of cheaper LED push buttons due to the PCB having the current limiting resistors on the board, rather than in the switch. It offers easy to solder to test pads which are easily identifiable on the PCB .
