Does anyone know if this controller would work with the CFP?
Reading the instructions it looks like its just mimicking/extending the keyboard functions used to jog.
The keypad buttons send the following commands as keystrokes detected by the Carbide Motion software:
Y + (moves in positive direction on Y axis)
Y - (moves in negative direction on Y axis)
X + (moves in positive direction on X axis)
X - (moves in negative direction on X axis)
Z + (moves in positive direction on Z axis)
Z - (moves in negative direction on Z axis)
1 (Sets jog speed to lowest speed: .025 mm or .001 in depending on ‘units’ setting)
2 (Sets jog speed to second speed: .25 mm or .01 in depending on ‘units’ setting)
3 (Sets jog speed to third speed: 1 mm or .1 in depending on ‘units’ setting)
Fast (Sets jog speed to fastest available speed)
If it doesn’t require a driver and it sounds like it may be compatible with any keyboard…
There’s a very good chance it will work.

This works great too. I prefer the Numeric keyboard. Less button to deal with.

which keys work for the zed axis?
Page up , page down. All the arrow keys work as expected. Battery life is fantastic.
Like a year on a AA lithium.
Note: your computer must have Bluetooth
obviously.

Is there some advantage over using an X-Box controller and Antimicro driver? They are under $20. I use a wireless one and a wireless keyboard. Either works fine and both can be had for a total less than the one linked.
