    Mach3 UC400eth and joypad

    Hi,
    I have an issue with the joypad ( joypad plugin version 2.0 ) control.
    The problem is that the machine respond to the proportional control of the joypad command, but once started moving it does't stop when you stop action on the joypad, it only change direction if you move the lever in the opposite direction.
    Any idea ?
    thanks

    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, calls a 'button up' code. So for jogging in X+ direction for instance, you would call button code 147 on the 'button down' to start moving, and call code 229 on 'button up' to stop moving in x+. You have to do this for every directional button with the proper codes. The stock plugin doesn't come fully setup for all codes.

    Regards,
    Eric
