More Jogging

In version 1.2.0.3 (coming soon) we have added support for the excellent ShuttleXpress Jog Shuttle from Contour Design.

The shuttle has different functions depending on if the jog enable switch is activated or not. See picture below.

You can get the device from this Amazon link.

And here is a link to a downloadable settings file so you will get the correct key mappings.

In the software for the ShuttleXpress, import the file to get the correct key mappings.

There is also a model called Shuttle Pro.

It has more programmable buttons and removable keycaps for easy labeling. It can be used with the CNCSimulator Pro as well, but you will have to map the keys yourself as we do not have a settings file for it yet.

These are the current keys used in the CNCSimulator Pro (from ver 1.2.0.3).
