Cammaster stinger 2 pendant

Post by cncwind »

getting ready to purchase a cammaster stinger 2 and it does not come with a remote pendant, they said that to add this feature it would be an additional 995.00

I know it uses Wincnc for control software, will the kind at vistacnc work?

or will wincnc touch work? its an app used by your Iphone, I am not real hip on that program, would rather have something permanent

any alternatives out there?

I use a Logitech RumblePad 2 wireless game controller with my ShopBot. Fully programmable to do anything I want.

I use a Logitech game controller with my Camaster Cobra as well. Works great with WinCNC. $20.

I have found wireless/remote control of CNC to be of limited use and dangerous at times, others may disagree.

I have used my Rumble pad successfully for 6 years with 5 different CAMasters, at 30 bucks the only problem ( I have never had) would be to have battery die during a rapid. mine has always just stopped new batteries every 6-10 months
