Proportional feed and spindle rpm knob INPUTS

[diegocolonnello]

It would be really convenient to have Feed and Spindle RPM control Knob inputs.



I also have a Siemens controlled CNC MILL and i have grown used to start the cycles with my hand on the FEED KNOB...



and now i would like the same on both my Masso machines...



Thanks

I would like this also, though most VFDs have 2 analogue inputs, one which could be connected to a potentiometer which can increase or decrease the projects rpm just need to check the VFD manual and function settings.. Unfortunately feed rate hasn't got that option yet

Noticed your posts as a result of reviewing old feature requests.

Were you aware that F11 / F12 will allow you to use the MPG dial for Feed Rate & Spindle Speed respectively?
I haven't tried it on my machine but noticed it in earlier feature requests and confirmed it is documented.
