The only clarification you need is that the 24v0 does not need to be isolated from machine ground, there isn't a reason you can't tie the 0V side of the control reference voltage to the frame of the...

Hi Kevin

this should apply to any Mach3 probing wizard addon:

Known to work for X/Y/Z probing: parallel port, CNCDrive devices (UC100, UC300, etc), Smoothstepper, CSLabs CSMIO, PDMX devices. ...

You said your old pendant was USB, so it only transmitted a data signal to a plugin for all that functionality and all those buttons.

For your new pendant, technically you can wire each of those...

I purchased from ToolLots last year. Link to another thread where I scribbled some thoughts:...

I think you have found the hard way that most of the cheap chinese controllers simply will NOT do a G31 probe command in X and Y axes properly, the only thing they properly put in the firmware is G31...

I took a chance and ordered a laser from Toolots, ordered a 'KH960C' from them. It was stocked in USA, came reasonably quick, and was as described (Genuine RECI 100w/ tube, included rotary and a...

A_camera,

Better yet, do what I'm doing, install every new version in a new directory. I have ver 1.2020 in a UCCNC2 directory, 1.2023 in a UCCNC3 directory, 1.2024 in UCCN4 directory. Once you...

Hi Sergio,

I assume you are talking about the included xbox control plugin that comes with UCCNC (ref picture attached)?

Every button press calls a 'button down' code, and on button release,...

Hi Sergio,

Thanks for the feedback. That is another confirmation that the plugin seems to require a 'genuine' xbox control and not a generic joypad.

The feedback about an 'enable' button is...

Hi Fussi,

I'm afraid I couldn't tell you if it will work with PS3 control. The only controller I wrote for and tested against was an Xbox 360 control. I had hopes it would see any controller...

Well that is a bummer TP. Thanks for giving it a try and your input anyhow.

I'm guessing the UCCNC plugin is far more generic, in that it treats all inputs as button presses.

regards,
Eric

I can't say I disagree TP, but it is what it is right now (a very preliminary plugin). SlimDX is a C#/.Net 2.0 compatible library that emulates XInput. It was the quickest/easiest way for a...

Hi Batwell,

Not sure why that would be. I've never gotten warnings, I assume it depends on what antivirus you have running and how it looks at it.

Even though SlimDX is open and free to...

Hi batwell

You'll have to try it and see if it overrides the pot input, or if you have to disable it. The plugin can only set the feedrate an push jog 'on' and 'off' essentially at the moment,...

Hi TP,

The current version of the plugin is attached. A few others have have run it successfully with XBox controllers, so with any luck it will run with a generic controller. As a reminder,...

Hi TP,

The plugin that comes with UCCNC didn't make use of the analog sticks in an analog manner (such as to vary jog velocity), and for me, the right analog stick was unavailable in the stock...

I've made a few more fixes to the plugin, and made a short video to demo some of the functionality.


The video is here:

I'm still hoping to find someone that...

I've been working at learning C# and how to write plugins for use with UCCNC, and have a new joypad/XBox360 controller based pendant/jogging plugin working.

The plugin gives you proportional speed...
