chilipeppr has had this for a while, and that support has been added to bCNC — you can add it yourself if you know how to use GitHub and manage pull requests.
Hopefully it will show up in the main app presently.

pendant api
I'm not sure if it's been discussed before, but what all would be involved in co… nnecting to a second serial device, let's say a second arduino, that has the usual pendant buttons, and electrical E-Stop buttons.
Right now I have a pendent that has the E-Stop cut off, Abort, resume, hold buttons. That connect to the arduino cnc shield. But it would be nice to have a second arduino with control buttons and buttons that send commands to trigger custom actions. I could use the same arduino, but where is the fun in that.
That way I can use the hardwired pendent when I'm next to the machine, then use my phone/web pendent when I'm across the shop or in another room.
