I've got a prototype working of a 6-button USB box for jogging the X, Y, and Z motors. It's using a Teensy 3.2, which is a Arduino compatible microcontroller. (I would have used a Arduino Pro micro but I already had the Teensy laying around so...)
If anyone is interested in building one let me know and I'll post my Arduino code. It should work the same in a actual Arduino but I can't confirm that 100%.

Sure thing! That sounds cool and I'd love to see it. Any vids of it in action?

No, I wanted to see if any M-3 owners wanted info on how to do it before I made a video. For all I know these jog boxes are easy to make and everyone who wants one has already made one, you know? Just trying to gauge interest before I document the build.

There's the code that I have working on my Mac and UGS Platform. I don't know if the Windows version of UGS Platform or Grbl Panel requires the Shift+Windows key to be pressed along with the Arrow keys, but if it does then the MODIFIERKEY_GUI is the Windows key (and the Command key on a Mac).
If there's interest in this project I'll do a video and more details, if not, then here's the code. Paul at PJRC.com (and owner/creator of Teensy) answered all my questions and pointed me in the right direction. I couldn't have done this without his help. Thanks Paul!

BGBT, Awesome Thank you!. I really like the idea of having an easy to use set-up just to jog the machine around and get it close to where i want it. I plan on looking over this and seeing what I can prep for the King.  Thanks again! Aaron |

When you said you couldn't do a Z jog in grbl 0.9.... just curious. I am tied down to my desk at the moment, but won't keyboard 7 and keybord 1 jog Z in UGS classic using grbl 0.9? Just wondering.

Probably, I just never looked into it because I use UGS Platform.
I just checked it, UGS v1.0.9 uses 3 for Down and 9 for UP on the Z axis.
I'll post the correct code for UGS in a minute.

Post by Big Man Black T-Shirt(Patrick) on Jul 18, 2017 1:34:02 GMT
OK, here's the code for UGS 1.0.9, I also changed the button numbers on the Teensy to coincide with the Keyboard.set_key lines of code, to make it easier to follow. (button1 is Keyboard.set_key1, button2 is Keyboard.set_key2, etc., etc.)
UGS v1.0.9 does not require either the GUI key or the Shift key, so I removed those lines from this code to keep it simple.
I have this working with UGS v1.0.9 and the previously posted code works with UGS Platform v2.
Some tweaking of both the "Bounce button1 = Bounce(1, 10)" setting at the beginning of the code and the "button1down && button1elapsed > 160" settings may be needed on your setup to cut out any bounce your switches are having. Unfortunately, these settings also affect the jog speed and smoothness so experiment and let me know what you find to be the best settings for both switch bounce and jog speed/movement!

To be accurate, this isn't needed in order for you to setup or use your M-3. This is if you wanted to build a little USB box to control jogging. You can just use the computer's keyboard which is what I bet most people do. This is just for those of us nerds who want to tinker some more!
