Hello all,
I am in the midst of designing a low cost control pendant for CNC router machines. The problem I am having is locating finger style switching joysticks. I do not need a variable potentiometer type control. Only a 4 way or preferably an 8 way joystick type contact switch.
You can find several of the small units on mouser digikey etc, however, it is only the switch. I would like a complete joystick with the boot, plunger, switch, etc.
I do not want to have to design and build my own protective boot, plunger, mounting assembly etc.
If you have any idea as to where I could find such parts please let me know. The current voltage rating is a standard 5v 500ma.
I would love to hear any ideas or advice you guys could offer. Thanks in advance!
