Support for common operator panels.
I really like Kflop for its versatility and ease of use. Using frequently used wired/wireless operator panels would significantly reduce the implementation time. For example, the convenient WHB04B-4 wireless panel from Mach3.
This panel works as a USB HID device. This device has a Mach3 plugin with a graphical configurator for assigning functions and buttons. Are there any examples of using similar panels directly, without using Mach3?

Re: Support for common operator panels.
We prefer hard wired MPGs connected directly to KFLOP for guaranteed real-time response. But KMotionCNC does support a wired/wireless Gamepad. See here. Otherwise you would need to write your own KMotionCNC code to support such a device. The code for the Gamepad is in CKMotionCNCDlg::DoJoyStick()

Re: Support for common operator panels.
There are also wired USB HID operator panels. The operators MPG does not require high speed real-time response.We prefer hard wired MPGs connected directly to KFLOP for guaranteed real-time response.
I can't write code for Windows. It would be very useful to be able to connect commonly used operator panels, such as this.
