    Need help to install plugin to Mach3...

    I tried to install the plugin file for Griffin PowerMate. I transfered it to the Mach3 directory and double clicket but I got a message that told me that Windows can`t open this file if it doesn´t know which program which created it.

    What do I need to do?

    You might need a newer version of mach3. And to install the plugin, just place the file on your desktop and double click it there.

    I don't think R 1.84 supported plugins.

    I have now updated to latest version and the plugin opened but I can´t get the powermate to control or change between the axis.
    Do I need to configure any setups in Mach3?

    Hi,

    Sorry to resurrect this fading thread, but:
    My powermate's 'click' switches between the 3 axis (Good thing, it seems to work a bit) but I can't get it to jog... (arrow keys do, but not the thing..)
    Where could I get some more info?

    Regards, Paul
