If your remote panel it going to have a "Feed Hold" button, wouldn't you like it to work like the one on the VCP?

That means it would have to be momentary -- not latching -- and the indicator light should turn on whenever the control is in Feed Hold, regardless of whether that was initiated with the external button; the VCP; or the feedrate override knob.

However, I am not the target market for this device, so take my opinions for what they are worth.

On review, I see that you are just talking about using momentary buttons and having the light go on or off momentarily, while the button is pressed, rather than actually showing the state of anything. That was not the point. The point was to allow the light in the button to communicate the state of a machine device or setting, like we have always been able to do with the hardware jog panel and with the VCP.

Can anyone hook me up with a driver I can point it to? Thought v5.09R2 would install it for Acorn SIX.

I've tried uninstalling the device hoping Windows would reinstall driver on restart but no dice.

• What Windows version are you using?
• Have you installed any other serial port drivers on this system?
• Is C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\usbser.sys present?
