Pendant

Hi, all.

I'm currently converting my BF25 to CNC controlled by Kflop and I'm planning to make a pendant for it, but as I'm fairly new to CNC and the use of a pendant in particular, I'm not sure what I should put on it.

I have seen various pendants you can buy, but I don't really get much wiser by looking at them...

What I have planned so far is:
- 2 MPGs so I can control two axes at once, e.g. X/Y
- E-stop
- Keyboard. I can easily have up to 16 keys
- LED indicators. Again, I can easily have up to 16, but would I need that many? What should they indicate?
- Display 20x4, for info and menu
- Rotary encoder with switch for menu control

As for what the keys would control, so far my thoughts are
- Start
- Stop
- Pause (Is this the same as feed hold?)
- Coolant/mist/air On-Off
- Spindle On-Off
- Spindle speed Up
- Spindle speed Down
- PDB Open-Close
- Jog speed Up
- Jog speed Down
- Change tool from ATC, in combination with other keys to select which tool number. This could probably also be done through the menu.
- Enable/Disable MPGs

Is there anything I have missed that should be there or anything that shouldn't be there?

I realize that holding the pendant and operating 2 MPGs at the same time can probably be a bit cumbersome, but I'll tackle that when I get there... :)

Any suggestions to how I can make this a very good pendant?
