Miller guys come up with a wireless foot pedal for the tig welder???

[Pipedream]

If your going to go to all the trouble to make wireless amperage control, make it Voice activated, small microfone in your helmet, up 10 down 5 etc. , im sure it wouldn't be that hard to do with todays technoligy!!!

whats the part no. for the little finger amperage control???

As long as it knows to ingore "other" vocal emmisions that can occure while one is welding.

Uhh Hello Miller,

There seems to be a demand for this thing. You could take a steel toed boot , integrate a tensometer in the sole, use some sort of transmitter built into the heel/calf area (using a freq that is not effected by hf or arc presence) and BAM!!! wireless foot control. Oh,and,make it for under $250

There already is wireless vooice controlled remote for pipeliners, Already wireless remotes, won't be a wireless tig remote because of the HF interference..

But say on a Dynasty the HF is only for starting...would that help?
I would thing reception would be more of an issue in tight metal shielded areas.

God, I can't spell, been using a computer since they originally came out, still finger typing, anyhow, what would be the point of having a wireless arc start switch. I mean the tig machine is what, 25' or less from the operator to the machine. We are talking about wireless remotes that have a range of 500'

i think the HF would freak it out even when just used at the start. the HF inter fears so the arc stops, this could result in a continual on off thing all the time you were trying to weld.
heck my son's rescue heroes go off every time i weld. i suspect if it was that easy it would have been done by now. wonder what effect it would have with lift arc ? if HF still used at all in that case ?? i'll have to give it a try and see if the dynasore growls.

I know what yer saying cruizer but when you are talking to the tig welding crowd yer also talking to the "gadjet crowd" at the same time. Heck I've got a wireless MOUSE and I'm staring at the screen right in front of me.
I think YOU should invent it and sell them to us.

just go outside the frequency range of the welder. Low power Micowave?

I had a bad idea for a device that plugs into the standard foot pedal after squeezing in and out of one too many track cars and fiddling with the foot pedal.
I am adding a wired on off momentary to the foot pedal as well as a knob adjustable position hold device for the pedal itself. I have a small covered clicker button and a simple 2 pin chassis mount plug that will mount in the pedal case itself. The torch mounted on/off interrupts the signal from the pedal to the machine. Set max amps on the machine a little over what you need, crawl inside the car and take the pedal with you. Use the pedal positioned and held to set % weld amps and change as you need. Use the torch mounted on/ off button to control. Wen not in use I will plug in a jumper plug to return the pedal to normal service. Just like the $150 Miller on/off switch but has % control and under $10. That is if my thinking is right....
