- Controlling your CNC like a ROCK STAR!! // TUTORIAL
Many people like to use a gamepad or controller to move the CNC router around to position it for zeroing out the axis before a job, or moving it out of the way to put down a new workpiece. I have s few left over instruments from my RockBand days, so I decided to use that! :D
This video walks you thru how to set it up and hopefully inspires you to use a unique controller of your own! :)

This is so stupid... I love it.
Crafted Workshop haha I aim to please!:)
Wes Swain...... you're my hero.
Way to put the "fun" in functional 👍
Yes!!! Keep them coming. Now to make some RockBand CNC Art
Keep on me about it!!! I am gonna try!! :D
The future of free hand CNC art. Live Competitions.
LOL. I see what you did there at the beginning. You are a rockstar Wes. So this is the appropriate controller for you.
ManCraftingTM 😀😎😇
Just when you thought having a CNC was badass enough you take it to a whole other level! Rock N Roll CNC!!!
Mike Merzke let's set you up with the drumset. ;)
Geeksmithing a CNC rock band!!!
This. Is. Awesome.
Cool idea! Finally have a good use for those plastic guitars ;)
Haha, exactly!!!! :D
I definitely think the Wiimote would be the best for the practicality side. But you can't beat the awesome factor of the guitar.
I personally liked the longer format tutorial Style.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing!!!
HomeGamer Engineer yeah, totally would be cool! Especially with the steering wheel attachment! 😂
Geeksmithing I was just thinking of using the buttons. But, yeah.... If you grab the accelerator data directly from that thing you can control it in a very interesting way.
Random thought...
Then to bring it full circle you could put a foam board on the table with a race track drawn on it. The program could slowly and steadily keep incrementing the Z axis down. After multiple laps you would either have to stay on exactly the same course you previously carved or risk stalling the router.
Of course this game would get very expressive very fast. You need at least 2 x-carves just to play head to head (that doesn't even account for potential damage of intentionally trying to stall your router)
You should have given us a demo at the beginning of the video so we know how great this is at the start!!!
Haha fair point!
Lol, that's awesome man! Have you made anything with it yet?
Bobby Duke Arts CNC, yeah. The controller, nah, beside cutting rectangular pieces out with it. It's more for fine tuning the position on the workpiece before starting a cut
That's great! Really good video too!
MakeTinkerShare thanks man!
I didn't know you could do this. I'm gonna have to do something for my cnc. But I might go with something a bit more usable like a USB drum set 😆
Haha that will work out better than my DDR mat!
First! How else can you control it ... when you're a rockstar!
Ooooooh..my drumset..... oh god..
When JtK is pulled out I get serious
Ha Ha Love the glove! So Minority Report ;P
ooooo good idea!!
Geeksmithing Now if you really wanna ape Minority Report go for a Leap Motion controller but it is V Hard but V rewarding I've heard! I'm more of an ideas guys less of a is it possible guy 🤣😳☹️💡
Doc Darkness ha, yeah, me too! I have to cut or scale back lots of crazy ideas to end up with the still crazy projects on my channel. :)
Geeksmithing LOL yeah but it's the crazy end goal that leads to the succinct solutions in the end if all you have is limitations then all you have is the most efficient solution . 👍
Doc Darkness Case in point: NES games. :)
Fun :D
