Game pad control of my bridgeport.
If using Mach3, Keygrabber and a logitech dual action gamepad plus a couple of hours = one honkin' machine addon.
Since key grabber allows for 4 different sets of controls/pages of controls, you can have a ton of options. I currently am only using one page, but will expand into the second one as I need more and more control.
Iy you are in fact using Mach3 and need more help, feel free to ask.
Mike
