You mean there may still be a glimmer of hope for my wired HB04 to work with Acorn? Like this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/HB04-Wired-USB ... SwQiRUpjDj

I know there have not been too many updates on this but we have not forgotten about it. We are hoping it will make it into the next release. Since we don't make the USB MPG there is a bit more testing involved to make sure everything works correctly. Since this involves potentially large objects moving, safety is a top concern.

You can ASK for whatever you want, but right now, we'd be happy with at least the XHC that was previously suggeted done. I know it is more expensive, but that's what Centroid started on. It is a custom design by XHC for Centroid.

Resources at Centroid are spread thin, but not forgotten. They know there is a lot of interest for a pendant with an MPG on it.

I had a thought that it would be REALLY nice to have feed override on a physical knob for the ability to quickly adjust feed rate when running a part...especially for someone like me. :lol: So, I did a search, thinking perhaps this MPG would have a physical knob that could be used but it doesn’t look like it.

If anyone wants to make there own then I've used these USB Keyboard encoders many times to make custom control panels etc.
Edit: Size is just little larger than credit card so easy fit into pendant case.

The one that is being tested DOES have a physical knob. See here:https://www.ebay.com/itm/HB04-Wired-USB ... SwQiRUpjDj

If Centroid wants to support the VistaCNC pendants (which are excellent pendants!), I'm sure Lee, the owner, would be happy to provide information on their HID interface, to make the job easy. I know he is interested in having Acorn support for his products. I'd be happy to provide an introduction...
