So I have a number of older mills and one lathe (2 with M plus controls, a M2 control, a M32 control, a M32B control, and a T2 control) and have this crazy idea of remotely controlling them.
I have a number of production jobs that have a longer run time, and since my shop is 30 minutes away from home it would be nice to monitor and control them remotely.
A security system setup is easy for monitoring what is happening inside the mill and another pointed at the screen could let you see what the control is doing (although pulling the video feed directly would be preferred), using soft keys, cycle start and feed hold would be the challenging part. Any ideas on if this can be done or if someone already has done something similar?
Thanks!
