This MPG Pendant shown below has been interfaced to KFLOP
using a simple User C Program.
There is a User C Program in the Files section of the Forum
called Init3AnalogPlusMPG.c that monitors the Pendant using software so it
doesn’t use any quadrature encoder inputs and also the connection may be
made to any free inputs.
This pendent is currently available at (and often on ebay):

A different pendent could be interfaced in a similar manner
Here are the connections for JP6 (aux#1) that the User
Program assumes
Pin8 - GND – COM MPG
Pin1 - 5V – 5V
Pin3 - 3.3 - COM select
Pin5 - IO26 – A
Pin6 - IO27 – B
Pin7 - IO28 – X select
Pin10 - IO29 – Y select
Pin11 - IO30 – Z select
Pin12 - IO31 – X1 selct
Pin13 - IO32 – X100 select
