LEETArduinoPendant

A UCCNC Plugin to receive commands from an Arduino Nano-powered CNC Pendant Uses Solid.Arduino library to talk to Arduino Nano

Design notes:
All resistors used were 10K
Speed and Feed potentiometers are 10K Their pinout goes like this: Wiper->ground = 0%, Wiper -> +5V = 200%
Axis and Handwheel Increment rotary switches are 4-position and their pinout goes like this:
- Axis select pins: 1-X, 2-Y, 3-Z, 4-A, C-Common (+5V)
- Handwheel Increment pins: 1-0.0001, 2-0.0010, 3-0.0100, 4-0.1000, C-Common (+5V)
All function buttons such as Jog +/-, M1, M2, etc are sending +5V signals to the digital pins D2-D12 D13 digital pin is connected to a LED indicator and is used to tell the user that the Pendant is allowed to send signals to the plugin.

Install the Full Firmata library onto your Arduino Nano (Or any other Ardiono that supports USB Serial Communication):

StandardFirmata sketch used for Arduino NANO is also added to the release package

Please note that you might need to install Arduino USB Driver in order for your Arduino to work on the target computer!

Download the latest LEETArduinoPendant from the releases and extract it to your PC.
Copy the LEETArduinoPendant.dll plugin file to the C:\UCCNC\Plugins directory!
Copy the Solid.Arduino.dll file from the Solid.Arduino release folder to the C:\UCCNC directory.
Please note that you might need to install Arduino USB Driver in order for your Arduino to work on the target computer!
Launch UCCNC.exe, go to Settings->Configure Plugins, and mark the LEET Arduino Pendant plugin as Enabled and Call startup
After everything is installed, Arduino is connected and UCCNC is running, press the "Enable" (+5v to D2-B-ENABLE ) button that will tell the plugin that the pendant is ready to send signals! D13 (LED+) will then have a continuous +3.3V signal alerting you of that!
